Ban surveillance pricing that uses personal data and AI to raise prices.
Occurrences
Evidence
The site's latest news item shown on June 17, 2026 is dated June 11, 2026 and is titled "Congressman Carson Introduces Summer Meals for Kids Act."
FTC staff found that location, demographics, browser history, mouse movements, and shopping activity can be used to tailor different prices for the same goods and services, and the agency said the study was still ongoing while it sought public comment.
Assessments
Available evidence does not show André Carson introduced, sponsored, or materially advanced a federal ban on surveillance pricing using personal data and AI, and no enactment is shown. The FTC source confirms the practice exists and remained under study, but it does not connect Carson to a completed policy outcome. This is best treated as unresolved rather than delivered, partial, or never on the current record.
