NYC COUNCIL VOTES TO BAN SURVEILLANCE PRICING: The New York City Council voted Thursday to prohibit businesses from using customers’ personal data and algorithms to charge different people different prices for the same products or services. Council Speaker Julie Menin said the measure aims to protect consumers from unfair pricing and make life more affordable. Businesses could face fines of up to $1,000 per violation, while legitimate discounts and loyalty programs would reportedly remain permitted.
