Yelp Reviews Filter Is a Gross Violation of Freedom of Speech! San Francisco, California
Yelp has a "reviews automated filter" that grossly violates freedom of speech. It claims to deleted those comments that appear to be created to enhance a business rating online but that are not legitimate. UNTRUE! Yelp's filter will delete legitimate positive reviews and leave the negative ones behind. Yelp acts like it is protecting its community from fake reviews but what it is really doing is harming local businesses with inaccurate ratings, a negative image and ultimately loss of business. If you care about your business image, consider learning more about Yelp before you use it. You may regret using it dearly!

" Yelp has a "reviews automated filter" that grossly violates freedom of speech. "
I couldn't help noticing that this was posted under "Civil Rights Violators". As is often the case, I have to inform you that you have no civil right to post anything on a private website. There is no such thing as "freedom of speech" on Yelp. It is a privately owned site and the owners get to decide what is posted on that site. If it's rights you're looking for, you have every right to start up your own site and say whatever you like.
