Google said that such negative reviews, unrelated to the actual business, “violates” its policies, and hence have been removed.

Haven't they been doing this for review bombing for a number of years now?

    Yes, and every review platform does it. It's why this particular type of slacktivism is particularly useless.

    And it's fair enough, it's supposed to be a review of the establishment, not your political views.

    I dunno, i repeatedly left negative reviews for robinhood. They got removed a couple times, but i can log in to my second account and still see my review, so if you do it enough eventually itll slip through.
