Here's a question, based on an experience. Two scenarios: A) A company posts fake reviews about itself, through whatever means. Consumers get a false representation of the business. The company and its associates are the bad guys, Yelp is the good guy. B) Yelp's filters hide most positive reviews about a company, leaving only negative reviews. All reviews are legitimate. Consumers get an equally false impression of the business. Yelp is the bad guy. Why is A) illegal and deserving of state interference, but B) is totally legal and continues today?
