Bill overview
The Stopping Grinch Bots Act of 2025 aims to prevent unfair practices related to automated purchasing systems, often called ‘Grinch bots,’ that can unfairly limit consumer access to products, particularly during high-demand events. The bill prohibits circumventing online controls designed to manage inventory and ensure equitable access, and it empowers the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to enforce these rules. States also have the authority to bring lawsuits to protect their residents from these practices.
