Google Cuts Off Reviews for Reproductive Care Clinics
Google has shut down new reviews for Planned Parenthood and other reproductive healthcare businesses. The action raises a number of unanswered questions.
- Any business in the pregnancy care category and abortion clinics (including Planned Parenthood) cannot receive new reviews.
- With this blunt approach, Google appears to be admitting that its post review moderation is not very functional.
- Politically motivated reviews, negative review attacks and fake reviews threaten to undermine trust in reviews overall.
