I think its under a 'rule of reason' analysis.

Here's an excerpt from ftc.gov website.

Some cases are easier than others. The courts decided many years ago
that certain practices, such as price fixing, are so inherently harmful
to consumers that a detailed examination isn't necessary to determine
whether they are reasonable. The law presumes that they are violations
(antitrust lawyers call these per se violations) and condemns them
almost automatically.

Other practices demand closer scrutiny based on principles that the
courts and antitrust agencies have developed. These cases are examined
under a "rule of reason" analysis. A practice is illegal if it
restricts competition in some significant way and has no overriding
business justification. Practices that meet both characteristics are
likely to harm consumers -- by increasing prices, reducing availability
of goods or services, lowering quality or service, or significantly
stifling innovation.
