- Description: Adweek’s Christopher Cicchiello reports that the FTC has approved Publicis Groupe’s $2.2 billion acquisition of LiveRamp, closing a key regulatory hurdle. The order imposes five-year guardrails requiring firewalls so Publicis cannot access competitors’ customer data through LiveRamp’s platform.

**Why it matters.** Rival agencies gain enforceable assurance that Publicis cannot leverage LiveRamp’s identity data against them, since the firewall conditions run for five years.
