YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMaryland became the first state to ban surveillance pricing on groceries. What does that mean?
Maryland’s Protection Against Predatory Pricing Act, signed by Gov. Wes Moore last month, bans food stores and delivery apps from using shoppers’ personal data, such as location, internet history or demographic data, to set individual prices.
While other states have taken steps to regulate the use of consumer data in pricing — New York and Connecticut require retailers to disclose when they have used personal data to set a price — they've stopped short of an outright ban.
PBS News’ Tim McPhillips spoke with Grace Gedye, a senior policy advocate at Consumer Reports, about how the law will work, what it achieves and what it leaves out.
