He pointed out that the FTC's definition primarily hinges on users connecting with friends and family. However, Olivan mentioned instances of users who interact with the platforms without any social connections, challenging the assumption that user connectivity is critical for engagement. This revelation indicates a more complex user interaction model than previously assumed.
Olivan challenged the FTC's market definition, highlighting that many users engage with Facebook without any connections, suggesting a broader use case for the platform.
