As online shopping continues to grow during the holiday season, Lawmakers are introducing a new billed called the “Stopping the Grinch Bot Act” that will ban bots from purchasing items and reselling for a higher price. The new act is mainly being built to protect middle class families who save up to spend during Black Friday and Holiday’s online only to see their items being sold out in minutes by bots. Additionally, Law makers are viewing this act as a way to give back time to families to spend the holidays with their loved ones versus being camped outside the store for hours or days just for a deal.
Providing protection from bots allows an even playing field for online consumers. Furthermore, it shines a spotlight on bots and the ever-negative impact it has within the online environment. Here’s to taking down one bot at a time.
