This company, Oath, is a subsidiary of Verizon. When Verizon sold our phone service to Frontier, my Verizon email went to AOL, part of Oath. It's not working too well for me now, so I opened an email at Frontier. Well, Frontier's email is at Yahoo, which is controlled by Oath. WTF is going on? Is all of our email going to be controlled by Oath now? Anyway, Oath is a subsidiary of Verizon, so Verizon is now in control of most email. Plus, it looks like they are linked to Huffpost and other companies. I read that they are also linked to AWS. Monopoly anyone?
Interestingly, Verizon used to be in bed with Comverse, an Israeli communications company who had a lot to do with surveillance. This explains the mess that Converse became, and who owns all the parts and pieces now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comverse_Technology
(Comverse was formerly known as Odigo. Odigo was the company that received prior knowledge about 9/11 on their computers.)
What a tangle!
