(The Center Square) — A federal judge has tossed out a lawsuit challenging a New York state law requiring retailers to tell customers if their purchasing data is used for so-called “surveillance pricing.”

The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Jed S. Rakoff in Manhattan rejected claims by the National Retail Federation that New York’s Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act violated companies’ free speech rights. He also granted a motion from New York Attorney General Letitia James to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice.
