Rep. Dan Goldman Introduces Bill to Ban Hidden Fees and Surveillance Pricing in Food Delivery Apps

Rep. Dan Goldman Introduces Bill to Ban Hidden Fees and Surveillance Pricing in Food Delivery Apps

A new bill, the Promoting Real-time Information on Cost Expenditure (PRICE) Act, has been introduced by Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) to address hidden fees and surveillance pricing in food and grocery delivery apps. The legislation mandates that companies like DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats provide a clear breakdown of all fees upfront, preventing unexpected charges at checkout. The bill also prohibits the use of personal data, such as browsing history and location, to set personalized pricing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would enforce the policy, with the authority to penalize companies that violate the rules. The initiative is partly inspired by a study showing that consumers pay 80% more for delivery compared to picking up orders themselves.

Proposed Parole Bills Could Release Notorious NY Killers

Proposed Parole Bills Could Release Notorious NY Killers

New York lawmakers are considering two parole bills that could lead to the release of infamous criminals, including 'Son of Sam' David Berkowitz and John Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman. The Elder Parole bill would allow early parole hearings for inmates over 55 who have served 15 years, while the Fair and Timely Parole bill would require the parole board to release convicts unless they pose a current danger. Critics argue these bills could result in the release of dangerous individuals, while supporters claim they provide meaningful parole reviews for rehabilitated inmates.
