A federal judge denied Uber’s last-minute request to block Colorado’s rideshare law that requires disclosure of driver earnings before tips. Uber filed a lawsuit alleging First Amendment rights infringement, but the judge cited deficiencies in their case. The law allows private parties to sue for violations and did not grant the judge power to stop it. Rideshare drivers testified about accepting tasks without knowing pay details. Uber claims the law shames them for driver compensation and pressures riders to tip more. The law also requires details about tasks before accepting a trip and provides estimates for tax deductions. Uber argued the law imposes excessive requirements and neglects the company’s context about earnings per ride. The state countered that Uber could provide additional information but must emphasize specific details. The judge empathized with informing riders about tipping but questioned the actual harm caused by the law. Uber’s claims will continue to be litigated. The company did not comment on the judge’s decision. The case is Uber Technologies, Inc. v. Moss et al.
