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

    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

      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…
