Title: What could possibly go wrong?

Now, when a business gains attention for reports of racist conduct, Yelp will place a new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert on their Yelp page to inform users, along with a link to a news article where they can learn more. https://t.co/1K2bJ46uM8

What an INSANELY stupid idea –> Yelp goes WOKE, creates alert system so users can accuse businesses of ‘racist conduct’

I’m guessing Yelp will be contacting flagged businesses with an offer, for a small fee of course, to remove the flag. pic.twitter.com/cmnG4ts86s

Got some BS reviews and a raciest mark and yelp refuses to do anything about it. The racist one even had a picture of George Floyd as it's avatar.

Yelp wrote a fake review of my business, then called 3 days after the review was made to ask if I would like to upgrade my account which would hide/remove the review. They denied the action and I was a new business at the time. When Apple decided to merge their safari search with Yelp...I was screwed.

How I know it was fake

- I'm the UK, they used American terminology to describe a fringe as a 'bang'
- They accused me directly of coming on to them sexually - I cut men's hair only and this review claimed to be a woman, I'm a guy and I'm heterosexual and I would never act so unprofessionally.
- They said they went to a local competitor to rectify my bad hair cut - the salon they mentioned is a high profile salon 40 miles away in the city.

I tried to take action, they did nothing.

I had 20-30 reviews all positive, filtered as Yelp defined them as not credible.

YELP need to go. YELP need to be sued. Set it up Louis!

You pay them $X a month and people can see the positive reviews as well as the negative. No money, no positive reviews.
