As shown in recent cases, parties successfully have fought off merger challenges in court when they can show that the government’s theoretical antitrust case is not supported by market realities. Demonstrating market realities is critical to both the government and the parties in antitrust merger litigation.
After taking the reins of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice (DOJ), the respective heads of the Biden-era antitrust agencies promised to more aggressively investigate and block transactions based on theories that more “accurately reflect modern market realities” and capture “the rich complexity of the modern economy.” But, in some cases, the agencies vigorously pursued this aggressive strategy even where the market realities did not support their theories. This approach undoubtedly achieved the agencies’ desired goal of thwarting many transactions where the parties did not have the appetite or resources to engage in yearlong antitrust investigations followed by complex litigation and appeals. However, as shown in recent cases, parties successfully have fought off merger challenges in court when they can show that the government’s theoretical antitrust case is not supported by market realities. Demonstrating market realities is critical to both the government and the parties in antitrust merger litigation.

The proliferation of internet-enabled devices has allowed children to access the internet at an increasingly younger age, often sharing their personal data without fully appreciating the risks and consequences of doing so. Accordingly, organisations that collect children’s personal data online have a shared responsibility to ensure that such personal data is collected with the appropriate consent obtained and is adequately protected, and to allow children to safely participate in the online space.
