How the hell has the world turned so upside down that Yelp has turned into the good guy?

I honestly don't care if a company blocks people. But the fact that knowing beforehand if a place requires a permission slip is "bad" is beyond the level of bullshit I'm used to dealing with.

Why shouldn't the market decide? This place wants to cut their business in half? Let them. Let people post about it. Share how "great" this company is.

And if they lose money doing it than good riddance. They deserve to go bankrupt for refusing to serve their customers.

The idea that we shouldn't know which companies are safe or not shouldn't be a dangerous concept. "Information should be withheld from the public." These morons can go fuck themselves if they honestly think limiting knowledge makes the world safer.

are we actually fighting a war using bad yelp reviews as our primary weapon?

At this point it's less of a war and more surviving in an apocalypse run by mindless zombies.

A map of npc-free locations is the best idea I've seen so far.

WTF is this common sense on Saidit?

(Thanks for these notes.)

Yelp will undoubtably censor bad reviews that are based on oppressive policies. However, they can't be overt about it because alternatives to yelp will emerge. They need to pretend to be that resources while subverting those who try to use it that way in secret.
