AOL stands for "America OnLine", a leading commercial provider of email accounts and access to the internet. In the past few years, its business model has increasing shifted to an advertising-supported one, serving ads both on their own sites and to third-party sites via their Platform-A distribution system. It merged with New York City based conglomerate Time Warner in 2001[1]; in 2009 Time Warner bought out Google's minority stake, and then AOL was spun off into a separate, publicly-traded company, initially owned by Time Warner's shareholders.[2] It has been known for conducting deceitful billing operations.
