Geoff Manne (ICLE) returns! He and Corbin break down a judge’s ruling (politely) laughing the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta out of court.

Topics include:

• The bizarro world of antitrust trash tweeting
• “‘Antitrust’ means what I want it to mean!”
• Back in reality: a straightforward ruling
• Maybe Zuck just . . . knows what he’s doing?
• Users want what they want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
• Does your market definition pass the laugh test?
