We talk about search results here but reviews are the same way. People who have never interacted with you get the ability to slander and hurt brick and mortar businesses with no consequence.
If you try to get Google to remove a review like that it’s basically the same story.
- slx26 9y agoAt some point we will probably have to start considering expiry dates for digital data more seriously (or at least expiry dates for public visibility), and not only for the waste on hard drives. The problem is that nowadays is so "cheap" to not "forget", that we forget why it might be important.

People tend to not put the same sort of trust into banter on the street. We need to make the general public more critical to written text, the society haven't quite kept up with development of information flow.
