@voteinorout: Senator #RichardBlumenthal is calling out airlines like Delta for using AI to charge people based on personal data, not actual demand. He says this "surveillance pricing" means one person might pay double what the person next to them does, all because the system guessed how much they could afford. According to Blumenthal, airlines are using zip codes, web searches, even what kind of car someone drives to figure out their so-called pain point—the max they’re willing to pay. He’s demanding answers from airlines and pushing agencies like the FTC to investigate what he calls discriminatory pricing. In his words, this kind of AI-driven pricing “not only endangers consumers with higher fares but also invades their privacy.” He’s warning that if companies can secretly decide what someone pays based on private info, there’s no transparency or fairness left in the system. Blumenthal says prices should reflect supply and demand, not how much money an algorithm thinks is in your bank account. He’s pushing for strict oversight before this becomes the new normal in travel. #RichardBlumenthal #DeltaAirlines #AIpricing #SurveillancePricing #DataPrivacy #ConsumerRights #Airfare #DiscriminatoryPricing #AirlineIndustry #FederalTradeCommission repost @senblumenthal Help this information get to more voters. 🇺🇸 A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to Democracy.—Thomas Jefferson
