New York’s pricing transparency law reveals how little transparency really means.
New York’s new law requires retailers to notify consumers when algorithmic pricing is used for essential goods.
However, it stops short of mandating disclosure of pricing logic, comparisons, or outcomes.
While the regulation creates compliance overhead and a paper trail for regulators, it leaves consumers without meaningful insight into how prices are determined.
The result is awareness without accountability, proof that transparency laws can exist without true transparency.
