Chamber of Commerce backs challenge to New York algorithmic-pricing disclosure law
( August 21, 2025, 23:51 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: The US Chamber of Commerce has filed an amicus brief opposing a motion to dismiss the National Retail Federation's constitutional challenge to the newly enacted New York Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act. The act violates the First Amendment by imposing "content- and viewpoint-based speech regulations," according to the Chamber.
