At what point does “dynamic pricing” become surveillance pricing or exploitation? Should companies be able to charge you differently from your neighbor?

The other senator from Utah is trying to let blue states import infinity foreigners can you please say something

Dynamic pricing is a scam on the consumer. This must be banned. They are charging whites more than minorities.

It’s invasive if they’re using facial recognition software to identify customers by name, creating profiles w/out their permission & unique pricing, all under the guise of “personalized” shopping. Not just cameras used for security purposes, but profiling & selling to others.

Yes. And I can refuse to purchase their services or products. Gov't solutions are ALWAYS worse than the problems they claim to solve. Always.

I swear the the same people who think this is fine are gonna be bitching about Ticketmaster later. Why are we Tickemastering groceries?

Not without transparency! If my neighbor and I can both see the prices and make our own decisions that’s negotiations and that’s capitalism. When the shopping experience is individualized and ephemeral, we lose key information that should factor into a true free market.

When it’s compelled at gunpoint. Whatever happened to ending the IRS?

Thune please resign. We need Mike Lee or Ted Cruz to take the Leaders seat!

NO! I've noticed this at Walmart. They know your location and your spending habits and they will change the prices electronically as you are approaching the product on the shelves. It's just WRONG.

We need to get rid of that. It’s total BS, it’s like stealing from you on steroids and it’s legal.

Yes they should. That’s capitalism. As long as I am not forced against my will to pay that price then I don’t see a problem. I can just walk away and use my dollars for a different purchase.

Hell no.

This should not be allowed. Companies should set one fair price for all. The price should not be able to change based on what I make or my neighbors make. Definitely AI should not be tracking that or my purchases.

"Should companies be able to charge you differently from your neighbor?" You just know they're going to charge White people more.

This reminds me of those Flock cameras being used to stalk citizens…. getting too creepy

Who cares? If you don't like their prices, buy from somewhere else. Why are we trying to solve a problem that doesn't hurt anyone?

If the @SenateGOP wasn't so feckless, you would have passed CLARITY in a way that would have made this illegal, as it invokes the existence of at least a "synthetic" digital ID tied to the individual, precisely by using financial systems as the mechanism.

Yes. Price optimization is not a crime.

Anyway, you're a dick.

"...regulators should enforce that law." Ummm... Seems rathe rlike support for a continued fourth Branch? Legislative, Judicial, Executive, and Regulatory? Maybe we shouldn't continue with deep-statery?

NO...most especially the government should be prohibited from pricing my electricity/gas/taxes at a higher rate than other people.

should the government be allowed to tax one person differently than his neighbor?

Discrimination

REMOVE TRAITOR THUNE NOW

@SenateAgGOP members: @JohnBoozman @SenJohnHoeven @SenJoniErnst @SenHydeSmith @JimJustice_WV @ChuckGrassley @LeaderJohnThune @SenatorFischer @JerryMoran @SenMcConnell Are they receiving funds from foreign workers' groups for AG - foreign interests, not American citizens?

I bet I could use their pricing data to prove they are charging more for certain races/ethnicities. Unintentional or not, it's illegal to discriminate.

we should be able to put in limit orders then, because I know those Hanes cargo shorts will list at $15.75 soon, I just know it.

Hint, who does it? a person or big business/Gov , the difference between murder and collateral Damage ,is deffrent for same reason. ..when it effect the rich we pay. Older than Aaron Burr ..

Wow. You appear to be on the right side of history on this one issue. Too bad you will vote to confirm an AG who will protect the kakistocratic kleptocracy that you protect.

Sounds like discrimination to me and I will fucking sue the fuck out of somebody. I’m tired of working. I need the easy money.

And yet, companies have been doing that using our credit history... am I wrong?

Here's a question, should everyone have the same rent to pay?

Quit letting Google, et al., use our phones to sell our lives to the highest bidder. Stop letting companies & govt agencies force us to reveal our IP addresses under the guise of "identity verification" or for "convenience." Stealing data is the ONLY objective of EVERYTHING now.

Surveillance pricing can rapidly become monopolistic. That’s the abuse. Trust is clearly lost in this case. Trust is a market institution. So trust must be maintained and protected. The grey area is the vast majority of replies are using surrogates for their underlying and unstated assumption: I want a fair market. It certainly doesn’t seem fair that a neighbor pays than me for the same good or service. That’s a centralized economy dynamic. One run by business instead of a government who has seized the means of production. And why we have anti-trust laws. Who decides what is fair in surveillance pricing? A committee of experts? Surely not. The markets will be disrupted with this and then be disrupted again as it adapts and corrects for the next equilibrium. Keep the experts and government agencies focused on safety and property protection. Fed meddling will only prolong inequities, never deliver an outcome, and hoover up resources.

Never. Including the government.
