NYC Council Proposes Ban on Dynamic and Surveillance Pricing to Protect Consumers

NYC Council Proposes Ban on Dynamic and Surveillance Pricing to Protect Consumers

The New York City Council is considering two new bills aimed at prohibiting 'dynamic pricing' and 'surveillance pricing' practices. These pricing strategies, often used by online retailers and grocery stores, involve adjusting prices based on algorithms that consider factors like consumer data and demand trends. Council Speaker Julie Menin and Majority Leader Shaun Abreu introduced the legislation, which seeks to prevent businesses from using personal data to set different prices for different customers. The proposed laws would make New York the first city in the U.S. to take such a stand against these pricing tactics, which have been criticized for exploiting consumers during an affordability crisis.

California Judge Halts Kars4Kids Ads Over Misleading Practices

California Judge Halts Kars4Kids Ads Over Misleading Practices

A California Superior Court judge has ordered Kars4Kids to stop airing its jingle in the state unless it discloses that its funds are directed towards Orthodox Jewish programs. The ruling stems from a lawsuit by Bruce Puterbaugh, who claimed he was misled into donating his vehicle, believing the charity supported underprivileged children. The court found that Kars4Kids violated false advertising laws by not revealing that donations fund Oorah, a Jewish nonprofit. The charity, based in Lakewood, New Jersey, primarily supports programs in New York and Israel, including summer camps and gap year trips.

Federal Appeals Court Delays President Trump's $83 Million Payment to E. Jean Carroll Pending Supreme Court Review

Federal Appeals Court Delays President Trump's $83 Million Payment to E. Jean Carroll Pending Supreme Court Review

A federal appeals court has ruled that President Trump will not have to pay the $83.3 million defamation award to writer E. Jean Carroll until the U.S. Supreme Court either reviews the case or rejects an appeal. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York issued the order, granting a request by Trump's lawyers to delay the payment while he seeks Supreme Court review. The court also required Trump to increase the bond by $7.46 million to account for interest that would accrue on Carroll's award during any further legal proceedings. Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, expressed satisfaction with the court's decision to condition the stay on Trump posting a bond of nearly $100 million. This development follows a January 2024 jury decision ordering Trump to pay Carroll for defaming her in 2019 after she accused him of rape. Trump has consistently denied the allegations.
