This idea has been around for many years and it’s already in place in many places. Do you think that Amazon shows you the same price for a pair of shoes that it shows me? There’s no reason that it should, if the programmers don’t want it to.

Sometimes the scam is a little bit deeper. If we go back to Amazon, for example, you often find different vendors that are selling the same good, because you can look at the pictures and see that in fact it’s the same product, but the vendors are selling it for different prices. Who decides which vendor you see first? The Amazon developers do, of course.

Anyway, those are Amazon examples, but we should pay attention to them because the problem already happens, and it’s not hard to set up the scam, and a protest alone is insufficient. Their needs to be massive legal penalties for any company caught running this type of price fixing scam.
