Google removes bad McDonald's reviews after worker reports Luigi Mangione

Who reads reviews for a McDonald's? What could you possibly learn?

Edit: I just found out that the local Arby's in this Indiana town of under 100,000 people has 940 reviews. And not because it's especially terrific or horrible (comparatively, it's still an Arby's).

I think I know why Trump won.

Why? Knowing how the staff conducts itself is an important aspect of deciding if it’s a good place to eat.

I don't think the review bombs were a great thing to do. It's one step from doxxing the person, who might have been just getting by and the money was enough to convince them. A negative review of a place just because it's where something happened unrelated to the place is just ranting and not legit. I wouldn't have done it, but I'm not in that much need of such a safety net to make the next rent payment.

We can look at it as corporate protecting corporate, but in the end isn't this just good moderation of posts that are not appropriate for the purpose? What if this hadn't been McD's but a family-owned restaurant?
