Polis Vetoes Colorado Surveillance-Pricing Bill Amid Backlash

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis vetoed House Bill 26-1210, which would have cracked down on surveillance pricing, saying its broad scope could punish legitimate pricing and innocuous tech uses. Supporters argue the bill would curb discriminatory pricing based on personal data, while critics warn it could hinder price accuracy and innovation. The veto highlights ongoing tensions between consumer protection and algorithm-driven pricing, a debate mirrored by similar actions in other states and national polling that shows growing concern over such practices.
