How not to ban surveillance pricing

4 hours ago

Surveillance pricing uses personal data to set maximum prices consumers are willing to pay, devaluing their purchasing power.
Maryland's Protection Against Predatory Pricing Act is ineffective due to loopholes, including narrow scope and exemptions for consent, promotions, and subscriptions.
The law lacks a private right of action, preventing individuals from suing violators and potentially reducing existing consumer protections.
Surveillance pricing often targets vulnerable groups, like those living paycheck to paycheck, rather than redistributing wealth as claimed.
Federal inaction and corporate lobbying contribute to the spread of surveillance pricing, harming the economy by reducing consumer spending.
