    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.

        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
