The Justice Department decided not to challenge a merger of rival internet companies whose sponsored-content offerings generate revenue for publishers around the globe.
The department’s antitrust division recently informed ad networks Taboola Ltd. and Outbrain Inc. that it wouldn’t stand in the way of their proposed merger, people familiar with the matter said. A Justice Department spokeswoman said the department had closed its investigation of the merger without taking action but didn’t provide further details.
In related news today, crack cocaine and heroin announced that they will be combining forces to battle ADHD.
Meh. Just use AdblockPlus and Ghostery and add some custom filters and you'll never have to deal with their 'content', merger or not.
Why would they do that? That would require work.
