## Justice Department Approval

## Fox's Concessions to Regulators
Fox will carry non-Fox movies and TV shows for three years, prevent rivals from being pushed down in search results, and share audience data with third parties.
## Roku's Competitive Safeguards
Roku must maintain data privacy protections for user search, watch, and click history until at least 2029 to prevent sharing sensitive information with rivals.
## Fox's Streaming Power
Fox gains control of Roku's distribution platform, which reaches millions of households via TVs and apps from Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+.

Fox Corp. will remain open to competitors on Roku for at least three years after Justice Department approved its $22 billion acquisition of the streaming platform.
