Delta has a long-term strategy to boost its profitability by moving away from set fares and toward individualized pricing using AI.

Privacy advocates fear this will lead to price-gouging, with one consumer advocate comparing the tactic to “hacking our brains.”

      Exactly. And it won’t stop with airlines either. Our entire lives are going to be a fucking auction model. That’s why we need a lot of vocal opposition now.
