Airlines and landlords are using personal data to charge their customers more. One AI company wants to make pricing for everything “much more similar to dynamics in NASDAQ.” From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/e21T2M3
Prices in the Machine - The American Prospect

She joined House Democrats to discuss the rise of algorithms enabling corporations to collude and hike prices, especially in housing, healthcare, transportation, and food, and become "all-seeing, all-knowing price setters. Americans lose when markets are hampered in those ways."

@dohamekki.bsky.social, former acting AAG for DOJ's Antitrust Division, oversaw the federal government’s lawsuit against RealPage & sued the largest apartment landlords in the country, exposing algorithmic collusion that allowed landlords to rig pricing—and flipped the first cooperator in the case.

Corporations are using digital tools to collude and raise prices, so we're taking action.
Last week, former DOJ antitrust official @dohamekki.bsky.social testified in support of AB 325, our bill to ban algorithmic price fixing in California.

When government pulls back, monopolies fill the void—raising prices, limiting choice, and eroding trust in markets and democracy.
In testimony before Congress, @dohamekki.bsky.social calls for strengthened antitrust enforcement to protect competition, consumers, and economic freedom.
