EPIC Testifies in Support of Bill to Protect New Jersey Consumers From Surveillance Pricing
Summary
EPIC Counsel Suzanne Bernstein testified before the New Jersey Assembly Commerce and Economic Development Committee in support of AB 4085. This bill aims to protect New Jersey consumers from surveillance pricing.
IFF Assessment
Surveillance pricing involves the use of personal data to charge consumers different prices, which can lead to discriminatory and exploitative practices, making it a concern for consumer privacy and fair market practices.
Defender Context
While not directly a technical cybersecurity threat, surveillance pricing relies on the collection and analysis of vast amounts of personal data, highlighting the importance of robust data protection measures and privacy controls. Defenders should be aware of how data collection practices can be exploited for economic gain, potentially leading to further privacy violations.
