"Yelp rebuffed Cerretini’s extortion claims, instead attributing the removal of positive Botto Bistro reviews to the platform’s algorithm, which routinely filters reviews based on a number of criteria (which are not public). These “filtered” reviews are still visible to customers, but do not factor into a business’s overall star rating."
Ah, the almighty ALGORITHM! We must bow down to its infinite wisdom and selective mercy. The god is dead, long live the algorithm.
Google, TripAdvisor?Is there a decent alternative to Yelp? (Paid or free.)
THE 9th U.S. CIRCUIT COURT of APPEALS had ruled that Yelp had the right to manipulate reviews, and its advertising tactics were a form of “hard bargaining” — not extortion
Well there's the problem right there, because it is a form of extortion. The 9th fucks up a lot though. I like reading about people cleverly manipulating the system.

I have a question. What does this have to do with Tech news. I read and enjoyed the article but wouldn't this go in Genmay?
Black Mirror episode. Please rate me a 5 and I'll give you a 5.Isn't a big part of being a tourist roaming around and discovering things on your own? Then I guess it long be long before people start reviewing others online in the open like it's the new norm.

Will everyone be wearing a visible "Like" count badge with LED numbers (similar to radiation exposure badges) or will there be a vr app and your rating will float over your head ala Google Glass.Yep. It wasn't a very good episode but shit is definitely coming during our lives. Unless we die in the next 10 or so years
the 9th is literally the most overturned court in the nation. it does not respect the rule of law.

Even if they fuck up a lot, having that go to court multiple times and so high and even then still being called "hard bargaining" is enough for me to not trust them. It's a damn review site and should have honest reviews and honest owner comments back. There shouldn't be any kind of hard bargaining involved.
No worse than the BBB imhoNice review you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it.
Yelp is a criminal enterprise.

2.5 cases reversed per 1,000 it heard and ruled on between 1994 and 2015. This shows the 9th "does not respect the rule of law"? You do you, let's not let facts get in the way.

BBB is another company that pretends to be something official, like the IRS, Fed etc etc yet is there purely to fuck you.May I ask why is BBB compared to Yelp here ? (Sorry, never read anything on it but used it once and their system works to get companies attention...)
