Government moves to ban 'surveillance pricing'
Original: So you say you hate 'surveillance pricing'
US authorities are moving to restrict surveillance pricing, the practice where companies use personal data — location, browsing history, income signals — to charge different customers different prices for the same product. Officials frame it as deceptive and discriminatory, while businesses argue personalized pricing reflects ordinary demand-based pricing. Critics say consumers rarely know it is happening, and the proposed ban has reignited debate over data privacy and consumer protection.
Why now: A new government proposal or ban on surveillance pricing has put the controversial practice back in the spotlight.
