Ok so I'm confused about who exactly the new parent company is, Altaba vs. Oath

Press releases say the new company name is Oath (http://www.oath.com/) but other Wikipedian are listing Altaba (http://www.altaba.com which btw redirects back to Yahoo! Investor Relations). So which is correct Altaba or Oath? YborCityJohn (talk) 19:38, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yahoo (the website) is now owned by Verizon under Oath. Yahoo (the stock) is now called Altaba, but is otherwise un-affected by this deal. Altaba appears to primarily be a US-traded holding company for Alibaba stock at this time. Power~enwiki (talk) 22:25, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

is Yahoo still an entity or is it defunt shouldn't pass tense was be used in the first line, not is

Yahoo

Privacy of e-mails

In spring 2018, Oath/Yahoo posted new policy etc., including a statement that by agreeing to continue using the service, the user allowed reading of e-mails for marketing and other purposes " If you have an existing Yahoo or AOL account, you will need to agree to this Privacy Policy. If you have not yet agreed to this Privacy Policy, the legacy Yahoo Privacy Policy or legacy Oath Privacy Policy (for AOL) still apply to your account." https://policies.oath.com/us/en/oath/privacy/index.html This means that, i.a., people with Yahoo accounts who send emails to Yahoo email accounts have their emails also subject to Yahoo's data analysis. Some of this may be opted out of https://policies.oath.com/us/en/oath/privacy/controls/index.html (but sometimes at the expense of another requirement, such as cookies0.
