@pluralistic : Surveillance pricing combined with cartel "IP rights" exemplify Wilhoit's' Law:

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Stopping this naked exploitation of consumers requires new privacy laws protecting consumers rather than cartels.
