Good morning.
Today’s roundup:
1) PayPal denies Pinterest acquisition plans, avoids ever-tightening regulatory scrutiny on Big Tech mergers.
PayPal announced Monday that the potential $45 billion deal to acquire Pinterest wasn’t happening, per Reuters. If it had gone through, it would have been the biggest acquisition of a social media company in the past decade, surpassing Microsoft’s $26 million LinkedIn purchase in 2016.

For Pinterest, the merger seemed like a logical next step in monetizing its large and loyal user base.
