Support a government investigation into Yelp's review filtering process.

Created by J.K. on December 13, 2012

Yelp has consistently been accused of hiding (aka, filtering) positive reviews after small business owners have refused to advertise with Yelp. (Google it!) Many small business owners, like me, have several 5 star reviews which disappeared shortly after refusing Yelp's very expensive advertising. This process substantially affects free speech (by those people who took the time to write honest reviews were were filtered for unknown reasons), hurts free trade (pay or play isn't supposed to be the American way), and hurts consumers by taking away their freedom of choice to consider all the reviews which are available. Demand a federal investigation into Yelp's business practices and lack of ethics.
