Google said that such negative reviews, unrelated to the actual business, “violates” its policies, and hence have been removed.
Personally, I think the class traitor is the one who deserves this ire.
I was shocked that he showed his face to the media (BBC article from earlier today). Bold.
Users left reviews for at least three McDonald’s locations in or around Altoona, Pennsylvania, with dozens of people leaving one star ratings and complaining about “rats.” Others more explicitly called out “snitches.”
“This location has rats in the kitchen that will make you sick and your insurance isn’t going to cover it,” one reviewer wrote.
Based reviewers
They do this for every business that gets review bombed. I don’t know what’s the big surprise there.
In fact, if you use Google maps, you yourself agreed to Not do this kind of behavior in the TOS.
This has been causal in the past for directly suspending Gmail accounts
Fuck McDonalds, fuck Google. Got it.
Hey, I was already there!
Yeah, they let Trump behind the counter. Fuck McDonalds.
Time to review bomb google
Why blame a business for the actions of one person?
Because they are glorified the guy who did the crime and blaming that McDonald’s for snitching and getting him caught.
America is wild, next time you see a wanted person, don’t call the police…
I for one believe that the question of whether a food service establishment has rats is very relevant to the business.
The character of the staff and clientele as well as the financial state of the staff as a direct result of how stingy their employer is can also be very relevant. Do you want to eat somewhere if the people preparing your food there will sell their morals and decency? Kinda seems likely that I could pay somebody there $100 to put their pubes into your quarter pounder.
Maybe the person only heard of the murder, saw some pictures, and didn’t know about all the “justice warriors” foaming at the mouth. I know plenty of people who hardly use the Internet and certainly don’t go on any social media platforms, even Facebook. We can’t expect every single person to know all the details.
You aren’t a CEO though.
We can tell by the still being alive part.
And? CEOs seem to be welcome there.
This is expected for non-legitimate reviews.
To be fair, they also did this for the Kamala spice shop thing, and also the trump mcdonalds thing.
And a lot of other situations with review bombing over the past decade.
Haven’t they been doing this for review bombing for a number of years now?
Yes, and every review platform does it. It’s why this particular type of slacktivism is particularly useless.
And it’s fair enough, it’s supposed to be a review of the establishment, not your political views.
I dunno, i repeatedly left negative reviews for robinhood. They got removed a couple times, but i can log in to my second account and still see my review, so if you do it enough eventually itll slip through.
The trick is typically to give them two or three stars, and be a bit subtle in telling people the truth.
But not this particular McDick’s, so this is big news. Huge even. /s
I mean, they’re correct.
But fuck McDonald’s.
they did this when TikTok was review-bombed on Play Store a few years back. tas long as they make the rules, we can’t beat them at their own game
Probably the same people that fantasizing about the* murder.
I’m guessing they are very specific as to which terms have been violated in their decision to remove.
