“Social media litigation can involve much more than a Facebook post or an Instagram photo,” explained Jason McDonald. “Cases may involve paid advertising, organic content, audience targeting, platform strategy, analytics, influencer activity, or questions about what a company did and why. My role as an expert witness is to help attorneys understand the technical aspects and how they intersect with marketing.”
McDonald provides consulting and expert witness services involving major social media platforms, with particular experience in Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. His work as an expert witness can address both organic social media, in which businesses and individuals publish content and build audiences without directly paying for distribution, and social media advertising, in which advertisers pay platforms to reach specific audiences.
McDonald provides consulting and expert witness services involving major social media platforms, with particular experience in Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. His work can address both sides of modern social media marketing: organic social media, in which businesses and individuals publish content and build audiences without directly paying for distribution, and social media advertising, in which advertisers pay platforms to reach specific audiences.
The distinction can become important in litigation. A Facebook Page post, for example, operates differently from a paid Meta advertising campaign. Instagram organic content can involve followers, hashtags, engagement, and influencer relationships, while Instagram advertising may involve targeting criteria, budgets, impressions, clicks, conversions, and campaign objectives. YouTube similarly combines organic video publishing and audience development with paid video advertising.
He can also assist attorneys with matters in which social media overlaps with search engine optimization or Google Ads. McDonald has worked in digital marketing for decades and has written extensively on SEO, Google Ads, social media marketing, and related technologies. He also teaches digital marketing through Stanford Continuing Studies. His approach to expert witness work emphasizes translating complicated marketing concepts, platform terminology, and technical evidence into language that attorneys and other non-specialists can understand.
