New York City is one step closer to banning companies from using customers' personal data to set individualized prices.
On Thursday, the City Council passed a bill to outlaw surveillance pricing, and subject big business violators to fines. Small businesses could avoid the fine if they correct the issue right away.
City Council Speaker Julie Menin is the prime sponsor of the bill. She joined WNYC's Morning Edition host Michael Hill to talk about it.
