In the same sense that "Google" is gone and we should now be saying Alphabet. That is the holding company, but the brand remains.
That's different - Yahoo has completely different owners now whose main business is in a different sector.
Headline should read:
"Verizon after acquiring Yahoo disregards normal tech-company conventions and snoops on everyone's emails like a scummy ISP."
what's the point of finely tuning semantics when it's functionally identical?
Getting people upset with Verizon is a good goal.
Do brands decide to violate user privacy? Or do people make that choice?
Google LLC still exists.
