Government moves to ban 'surveillance pricing'

Original: So you say you hate 'surveillance pricing'

Companies increasingly set prices based on personal data such as browsing history, location and income signals — a practice known as surveillance pricing. Regulators are moving to ban the practice, arguing it lets firms charge vulnerable customers more without their knowledge. Critics say consumers have little visibility into how prices are calculated, and the debate is drawing attention across tech and policy circles.

Why now: Regulators are moving to restrict data-driven price discrimination, sparking debate about privacy and fairness.
