06:59 AM EDT, 09/25/2024 (MT Newswires) -- A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that a New York City law requiring food delivery services such as Uber (UBER) Eats, DoorDash ( DASH ) and Grubhub to share customer names and contact details with restaurants is unconstitutional, media outlets reported.

The judge ruled that the 2021 law meant to help restaurants recover from the COVID-19 pandemic violated the First Amendment by improperly regulating commercial speech, Reuters reported.

The companies argued that the law violated customers' privacy rights.

New York's legal department, Uber ( UBER ), and DoorDash ( DASH ) did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
