FTC Orders Walmart, Uber, Delta and 6 Others to Explain Pricing
The Federal Trade Commission ordered nine companies (Delta, United, JetBlue, Lyft, Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, Target and Walmart) to show whether and how they use personal data to set individual prices and gig workers’ pay. They have 45 days to respond. It is a study under Section 6(b), not an enforcement action or finding of wrongdoing. Delta, JetBlue and Instacart told Reuters they do not use personalized pricing.
