"That inquiry led the #FTC to conclude that "widespread adoption of this practice [AI surveillance pricing] may fundamentally upend how consumers buy products and how companies compete."

"In the press release, the anti-monopoly watchdog, the American Economic Liberties Project, was counted among advocacy groups endorsing the Democrats' bill. Their senior legal counsel, Lee Hepner, pointed out that "grocery prices have risen 26 percent since the pandemic-era explosion of online shopping," and that's "dovetailing with new technology designed to squeeze every last penny from consumers."

"Hepner pushed lawmakers to support the legislation banning #AI #surveillance #pricing, suggesting that could help "restore fair, transparent, and predictable pricing." Otherwise, "there is no such thing as a good deal when every consumer is charged a different price," Hepner warned."

The FTC’s decline is a symptom of a public policy designed primarily to protect asset prices.

They cannot stop a determined majority from working its will in rulemaking or enforcement, & Trump’s functionaries are definitely determined.🚨Whatever policies are deemed to be damaging to capital markets will be softened, whether through special exemptions or the free hand to consol, as the #FTC has ensured.

#NIVA filed briefs suggesting separation of the #Concert #ticketing, from the production and #advertising & #sponsorship wings, while #Artist management activities be split off as well after both federal #GOV agencies jointly requested public input on “unfair practices in the live #entertainment marketplace.”

NIVA was founded in 2020 as a #collective live music industry voice during #COVID pandemic when most #events were cancelled and staff and #venues faced dire straits financially.
