lonerangers1@lemmy.worldtoTechnology@lemmy.world•FTC: Companies Are Using Your Data for Individualized 'Surveillance Pricing'English

4 hours agowalmart rolled this out and call it “dynamic pricing” I have known for half a decade that a VPN can yield me discounts and you get different prices by region for the same product, like an ISP. For the most part it seems simply being unknown provides the desired outcome. I don’t think any part of dynamic or surveillance pricing is designed to ever bring a price down over learning about someone.
good parent.
