Stopping Grinch Bots Act of 2025

This bill prohibits individuals and companies from bypassing website security measures designed to limit online purchases (like preventing bots from buying all available items) or managing inventory. It also bans selling products obtained through such violations if the seller knew or should have known about the circumvention. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorneys general can enforce these rules by suing violators to stop the conduct, recover damages for consumers, or compel compliance. The law specifically targets automated "bot" activity that undermines fair access to online products during high-demand periods.
