Antisemitic YELP review of Israeli restaurant in Los Angeles isn't taken down by YELP - review and report
from Reddit:
"I'm going to Miznon in Los Angeles with friends tonight. It's Mediterranean food by way of Tel Aviv. I went on Yelp to see what people were recommending and came across this review:
Ok, fine, haters gonna hate. Not my first day on the internet. So I report it to Yelp saying it plays with obvious anti-Israel and anti-Jewish tropes, and isn't a real review of the restaurant, so, you know, take it down.
Yelp responds saying, "We wanted to let you know that this review had already been reported to us by a user on Yelp, and that at that time our moderators decided to leave the review in place after carefully evaluating it against our Content Guidelines."
Well, that's pretty unacceptable to me. This is a fairly black-and-white example of Jewish hate. Take it down, Yelp. Do the right thing.
So now I'm wondering if you, dear Reddit, can help me in letting Yelp know that this will not stand. Here again is the link to the review. If anyone has any suggestions on how we can put pressure on Yelp to (a) remove the review and (b) recognize Jewish hate when they see it, I'm all ears."
I logged into YELP and reported this as a fake review and thinly veiled hate speech, and so should you
