NEW YORK, Sept 24 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday
declared unconstitutional a New York City law requiring food
delivery companies to share customer data with restaurants,
saying the requirement violates the companies' First Amendment
rights.
    U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan ruled in
favor of DoorDash  DASH.N , Grubhub  TKWY.AS  and Uber Eats
 UBER.N , which opposed the law.
    New York City had adopted the law in 2021, but agreed not to
enforce it while the lawsuit was pending.
