Gaming Hardware (Automated Purchase and Resale) (No. 2) Bill
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill aims to prevent automated software bots from being used to quickly buy gaming hardware (like PlayStation 5s or graphics cards) in large quantities so they can be resold at inflated prices. It's designed to stop 'scalping' and help ordinary people get these products at reasonable prices when they're released.
Presented by Douglas Chapman.
