Charging different customers a different price for the same product is illegal under US law

Demonstrably untrue.

It is illegal to charge a different price based on a protected class like race or gender. But travel sites, for example, are notorious for charging different people different prices based on their GeoIP, whether they're on mobile or desktop, or Windows vs Macintosh.

"Demonstrably untrue."

Robinson-Patman Act says "Please read me, and understand me and the Clayton Anti-Trust Act which I amend."
