New York AG Probes Instacart Algorithmic Pricing
New York Attorney General Letitia James said on Jan. 8 she demanded information from Instacart about algorithmic pricing and price-setting experiments after a study by Groundwork Collaborative and Consumer Reports. James warned the company that its practices may violate New York’s Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act, effective Nov. 10. Instacart says it stopped item price testing in December and will respond to the AG; Reuters previously reported an FTC civil investigative demand.
