A federal judge has ruled that senior LinkedIn executives, including co-founder Reid Hoffman, can be questioned in an antitrust lawsuit alleging LinkedIn illegally monopolizes the professional social media market, allowing depositions despite LinkedIn's objections.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Social & Community.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

LinkedIn executives are now accessible in this antitrust case, creating openings to scrutinise business practices closely. If you build in professional networking, expect increased regulatory pressure and litigation risks that could shift market norms.
