"> Drivers then could, over their local "$city Uber drivers" FB/WhatsApp group, agree to not take any ride below $X, This is, of course, illegal." Although I am not 100% certain on this, I think that these kinds of anti-trust laws only apply when certain companies have huge amounts of market power. I believe that certain "anti-competitive" behavior would not be illegal, if done by a whole bunch of small contractors. The obvious example would be unions that do this. But it is possible that this is a special exception to the law.
