So will this impact Uber that does some extremely shady stuff around your profile / phone type / battery life / account history / micro location / etc to tease out level of desperation & price elasticity.

Given Uber's history of ignoring laws they don't like, I don't expect anything to change until NY goes after them in court.

Dynamic pricing seems to be a personalized form of price gouging. It's encouraging to see regulators jump on this quickly and try to nip it in the bud. I can't imagine working on a team that helps enable individual price gouging at a company.

This is a good step.
Ban facial recognition by the government on civilians and ban Flock and similar. But they aren't interested in limiting their own power.
