  I would estimate more like 20.

    Honestly, that's a pretty standard "tape delay" for this sort of thing. It's really hard to make good, widely agreed-upon rules before the problem becomes widespread. Once it is, and there's popular support, rules and regulations become obvious. And that's how government tends to work.

      But fraud is already illegal.

  Amazon reviews were decent 10 years ago. Now they're worse than useless. My Amazon shopping has followed the curve. I'm pretty sure Amazon knows best of all what's going on, but stays quiet because they're generating insane profits.

    They’ve been broken for a lot longer than a decade.

      Oh yes, but now fake reviews are on a an industrial scale.

        It's even more devious than that. Some merchants have taken to planting obviously fake reviews of their competitors to get them banned from the platform.
