Abstract

Concerns about fictitious pricing and bait-and-switch practices, once commonplace, have been relegated to the regulatory attic for far too long.

If treated collectively, regulators may find reason to take these deceptive tactics seriously. Addressing “dishonest search disruption” as a distinct phenomenon may ultimately frame a way for regulators to bring enforcement down from the attic and back into the active enforcement arena.
