EU extends deadline for decision on Facebook, Kustomer deal

The EU executive, which acts as the competition enforcer for the 27-country bloc, opened a full-scale investigation into the deal earlier this month, saying that it may hurt competition and reinforce Facebook's power in online advertising.
Facebook has said it would cooperate fully with the Commission's review.
The Commission said it had extended the deadline after Facebook asked for more time. Such extensions are common during the summer holiday season when it is more difficult to find customers and rivals able to respond to queries about the market.
The UK competition agency is also investigating the deal while its German counterpart is now checking to see if Facebook should also seek its approval.
