Should the companies fail to address our concerns, we will launch a more in-depth review to ensure consumers and businesses don’t lose out.”\nA Facebook spokesperson said: “This merger is good for competition and in the interests of everyone in the UK who uses GIPHY and our services — from developers to service providers to content creators.”","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":358417484,"gmtCreate":1616722314648,"gmtModify":1704797864304,"author":{"id":"3554690739454545","authorId":"3554690739454545","name":"Shifeng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7eba636a69f64b047187455fad28835a","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f84d87792f02cf78e80ee34979fd31e5","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3554690739454545","authorIdStr":"3554690739454545"},"htmlText":"Everything about competition, it is already toobig to fail.&nbsp;","listText":"Everything about competition, it is already toobig to fail.&nbsp;","text":"Everything about competition, it is already toobig to fail.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/358417484","repostId":1110385330,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1110385330","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616718148,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1110385330?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-26 08:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook's acquisition of Giphy raises competition concerns, U.K. watchdog says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1110385330","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nThe Competition and Markets Authority launched the first phase of its investigation on J","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nThe Competition and Markets Authority launched the first phase of its investigation on Jan. 28.\nThe CMA said that Giphy competed with Facebook outside the U.K. in digital advertising ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/25/facebooks-acquisition-of-giphy-raises-concerns-for-uks-cma.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Giphy has built a digital database and search engine that allows people to share GIFs either through its website or app, or via social media platforms likeFacebook, Instagram,Twitterand Snapchat.\nAndrea Gomes da Silva, executive director of markets and mergers at the CMA, said in a statement: “As the U.K.’s competition authority, it is our responsibility to make sure that markets remain competitive. It is vital we ensure that Facebook, as a large and powerful Big Tech firm, isn’t using its strong market position to stifle competition. Should the companies fail to address our concerns, we will launch a more in-depth review to ensure consumers and businesses don’t lose out.”\nA Facebook spokesperson said: “This merger is good for competition and in the interests of everyone in the UK who uses GIPHY and our services — from developers to service providers to content creators.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":3886288,"gmtCreate":1616719552030,"gmtModify":1680781766674,"authorId":3569964028282746,"author":{"id":3569964028282746,"idStr":"3569964028282746","authorId":3569964028282746,"name":"wjv0204","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff218b44b2e07b129c0d4b2f98a1fcbb","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":358572755,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>wa</u>","text":"<u>wa</u>","html":"<u>wa</u>"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":358545540,"gmtCreate":1616718890480,"gmtModify":1704797795657,"author":{"id":"3573553710836358","authorId":"3573553710836358","name":"Joanne93","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c967d9964ec9b441fa6dd9a144f939e","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3573553710836358","authorIdStr":"3573553710836358"},"htmlText":"Like and comment pls","listText":"Like and comment pls","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/358545540","repostId":1110385330,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1110385330","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616718148,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1110385330?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-26 08:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook's acquisition of Giphy raises competition concerns, U.K. watchdog says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1110385330","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nThe Competition and Markets Authority launched the first phase of its investigation on J","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nThe Competition and Markets Authority launched the first phase of its investigation on Jan. 28.\nThe CMA said that Giphy competed with Facebook outside the U.K. in digital advertising ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/25/facebooks-acquisition-of-giphy-raises-concerns-for-uks-cma.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Should the companies fail to address our concerns, we will launch a more in-depth review to ensure consumers and businesses don’t lose out.”\nA Facebook spokesperson said: “This merger is good for competition and in the interests of everyone in the UK who uses GIPHY and our services — from developers to service providers to content creators.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":3900434,"gmtCreate":1616836705932,"gmtModify":1680781989236,"authorId":3578816571106224,"author":{"id":3578816571106224,"idStr":"3578816571106224","authorId":3578816571106224,"name":"user1234","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33536a65801c1f59c684a8b3d5d8b710","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":358542813,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Always in the media for some law charges ?","text":"Always in the media for some law charges ?","html":"Always in the media for some law charges ?"},{"id":3886185,"gmtCreate":1616718948153,"gmtModify":1680781763441,"authorId":3570656625926041,"author":{"id":3570656625926041,"idStr":"3570656625926041","authorId":3570656625926041,"name":"Alfred1007","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81d8406380cbc0525927f00a9510f2fa","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"7a9f168ff73447fe856ed6c938b61789-1","templateUuid":"7a9f168ff73447fe856ed6c938b61789","name":"Knowledgeable Investor","description":"Traded more than 10 stocks","bigImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e74cc24115c4fbae6154ec1b1041bf47","smallImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d48265cbfd97c57f9048db29f22227b0","grayImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76c6d6898b073c77e1c537ebe9ac1c57","redirectLinkEnabled":0,"hasAllocated":1,"isWearing":1,"stampPosition":0,"hasStamp":0,"allocationCount":1,"allocatedDate":"2021.12.21","individualDisplayEnabled":0,"individualDisplaySort":0,"categoryType":1102},"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":358542813,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"F B is better if it can diversify its business model","text":"F B is better if it can diversify its business model","html":"F B is better if it can diversify its business model"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":358541914,"gmtCreate":1616718658738,"gmtModify":1704797791775,"author":{"id":"3575673707879494","authorId":"3575673707879494","name":"LuCS","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d2df61ef98e356911cb6f0b530be11d9","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575673707879494","authorIdStr":"3575673707879494"},"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/358541914","repostId":1110385330,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1110385330","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616718148,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1110385330?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-26 08:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook's acquisition of Giphy raises competition concerns, U.K. watchdog says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1110385330","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nThe Competition and Markets Authority launched the first phase of its investigation on J","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nThe Competition and Markets Authority launched the first phase of its investigation on Jan. 28.\nThe CMA said that Giphy competed with Facebook outside the U.K. in digital advertising ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/25/facebooks-acquisition-of-giphy-raises-concerns-for-uks-cma.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
