Personally, I don't care that much about the demographic scraping until you try to change the price some individual pays based on their demographic instead of determine something like how the market losses of a higher price for everyone compares to the profits.

Before this idea, I think there was an indirect and less effective way to do this with loyalty cards, and I'm not really sure they should be legal.

This also has the potential to exploit the cultural leaning and internal decision making patterns influenced by individuals and change the marketing and price of products in specific areas to exploit them for maximum profit, people form less resourced communities will have difficulty recognizing they are being targeting and there will be less backlash since it will not be recognized, in addition they could claim they did not know about this despite having models and testing out their hypothesis on people from those communities by offering them a pitance which they do not know about and after rolling it out in a few stores it's success will be replacted in the stores in other states, it's not racism for racisms sake it's money does not fucking matter which community it is and their are studies for different communities too for immigrant communities of different kinds, latinos etc. As for the difference in prices bullshit reasons will be made up like transportation and labor costs with the help of accountants just in case it is asked and changes in marketing will be attributed to the people who made the marketing and the data scientist and the team who did this will erase their work such that they do not have the research but they have the "experience" to this for other product categories.
