A #state #law that goes into effect in October prohibits grocery stores & third-party delivery services from using consumer data to boost #prices.

The practice — supported by #ArtificialIntelligence & known as #DynamicPricing or #SurveillancePricing — can lead to 2 consumers paying different amounts for the same item from the same retailer, at roughly the same time.

I've had enough, haven't you? 😤 Let's make the #UK Gov reign in greedy #gas for good.💪👇 https://act.gp/3JHKh8p #FossilFuels #PriceGauging
