Journalists, social media users ridicule AOL and Yahoo merger, called Oath
The Verizon-owned company will launch this summer, and the name was chosen to ‘connect all the brands,’ AOL’s chief says.

“Verizon’s long-promised Yahoo acquisition has a name. And it, for some reason, is Oath,” Techcrunch reported.
On Monday, Tim Armstrong, AOL’s chief executive, announced in a tweet:
Billion+ Consumers, 20+ Brands, Unstoppable Team. #TakeTheOath. Summer 2017. pic.twitter.com/tM3Ac1Wi36

Additional information for the upcoming company is being kept under wraps.
