Google said that such negative reviews, unrelated to the actual business, “violates” its policies, and hence have been removed.

      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.
