If accurate, this makes for a decent argument that consumers aren't directly hurt by price fixing/collusion as long as sufficient competition exists in the market.

But, Uber increasing prices during high demand, low supply periods in an algorithmic way that does not explicitly involve coordination with their competitor Lyft? That's not behavior we should be regulating.
Further, unlike Amazon, and unlike Facebook, Uber is a company that is not making money and actually has a somewhat meaningful competitor in most markets.

I am worried that you are missing the main point. What you said describes a world where Uber has employees and is not an ecosystem of independent contractors coordinating with each other.

I might be missing the main point. I might also be wasting your time as I didn't read the article (journalists usually don't get it...). I believe Uber has independent contractors. They bring their own supplies and they work when they want to.
