> Among the other users who saw their posts deleted was *, who wrote warning visitors that she had blacked out at a Mexican resort out after drinking at a hotel’s swim-up bar I do not believe this story. OK I believe it, but put it down to cheap booze at higher levels of alcohol than normal. This is what is often found to be the case. (Changing locations with drugs also causes ODs) And there in lies the problem. Great allegations require great proof and this is why we have court systems not mobs. I'm not sure this is trip advisors job.

There is plenty of evidence about the criminal actions of many of these resorts. Waiting for the Mexican court system to catch up will absolutely get people hurt. If the resorts are being defamed, they can take legal action of their own, trip advisor should not be helping them hide accusations. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/time/4900991/mexican-resort-alcohol-unsanitary https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/time/4900991/mexi...

  You seem to be saying it's part of Trip Advisers mission to keep people safe? I don't think it is. And certainly if they chose it not to be that's their right. I find it part of the worrying 'snowfake' trend of everyone seeming to thing their safety is 100% someone else's responsibility. And it is also dangerous. Trip Adviser is 'in or out' on whether it keeps people safe. A half assed attempt can be more dangerous. > There is plenty of evidence about the criminal actions of many of these resorts I really find it strange you think a site that rates the quality of food and bedding should be the gateway to this information. It's not crazy, but a strange concept. Travel Guides back in the day used to do it in extreme cases and normally through innuendo. They always enforced the general idea of general safety when they did.

    Forget whether it's part of their mission. People use Trip Advisor because of the level of trust they have in the reviews. If enough people feel TA is censoring reviews, especially to the point of removing reports of sexual assault, you can bet they will sure as hell lose trust in those reviews.

So? That was her opinion which is a review. Even if you think there are reasons why it happened, leave the review and judge yourself. She just said she blacked out, and you gave reasons. What accusation was made?
