Price fixing by algorithm is still price fixing. Especially here that it's painfully obvious, there's not enough actors to justify this third party anyways.

- fcantournet 2y agoYes, the point I'm trying to make is that via 3rd party aggregator you can have massive price-fixing collusion without coordination, even with many actors (as long as those actors have converging interests)
- realusername 2y agoThat can be possible in theory yeah but in order for these aggregators to work well, the participants usually also send their own data and this makes it clear price fixing. If you send your own prices and then you get other prices back in return, it's 100% price fixing without any doubt. That what's making it different from a market study.
