Law Glossary
The term digital media is frequently used to refer to products and services that provide information or entertainment in digital form, especially online via the Internet. Examples of digital media include online news sources, video games, blogs, and social media. The term may also be used to describe online content, especially content that is interactive; on-demand media that is accessible through a range of devices; and media that is responded to or shared in real time. It is sometimes used to refer to content that is created, published, or distributed by individuals or non-traditional publishers, such as bloggers.
Law Glossary
Social media law is a developing area of the law that includes both criminal and civil aspects. Generally, it covers legal issues related to user-generated content and the online sites that host or transmit it. Some of the special legal concerns raised by social media include privacy, including the rights of both social media users and third parties (for example, when photos are posted and used online without the permission of the people depicted); defamation; advertising law; and intellectual property (IP) law. Material shared on social media can sometimes infringe on a copyright, a trademark, or other IP rights.

What Is Advertising Litigation?
Advertising litigation is defined as the legal area that covers false or deceptive advertising cases. Lawsuits may be brought by government agencies or corporate competitors based on the Lanham Act—a law that specifically deals with false advertising. The Act outlines how an advertisement can be deemed false. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has the ability to file lawsuits to halt deceptive advertising claims. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration may also pursue advertising litigation against violators of government regulations. Companies may be called on to substantiate their advertising claims, whether these are made in print or online.
