A Look at Social Media.<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Picture an antitrust action against an apple farmer who supplies almost all the apples in America. If you were bringing the suit for antitrust violation, how would you define the market for an apple? Is it the market for a snack? For healthy snacks? For healthy handheld snacks? For fruits? The list could go on and on. Defining the market for an antitrust analysis becomes far more complicated for products or services that are newer, such as the market for social media networks. When it comes to the Sherman Act one may think that because it has been combatting monopolies for over a century, there can be no room for interpretation about what constitutes a monopoly, much less a market for one. In the past 100 years, however, new markets and questions about those markets have risen. Social media networks probably did not come across the minds of the Sherman Act\u2019s drafters in 1890. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khflaw.com\/news\/legal-intelligencer-what-makes-a-market-a-market-anyway-a-look-at-social-media\/#more-6276\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you bring a suit over a complicated product like a social media network or a simple tangible product, like an apple, a relevant product and geographic market must be defined properly to succeed.
