    I rather doubt that buyer boycotts are actually illegal (with the exception of the anti Israel boycotts).

        What monopoly? There are many platforms for ad placement. Boycotting one platform doesn’t make the rest of the market a monopoly.

            By your logic, any group that organizes a boycott of any company is guilty of creating a monopoly. That is not how monopolies work, and it is also not illegal. It is a normal function of a free market.

        A monopoly exists when there is only one seller of a product. A monopsony exists when there is only one buyer of a product.

        I’m really not sure that the Sherman Antitrust Act regulates artificial monopsonies the same way it does with monopolies
