Yelp announced they’re focusing their business efforts on being less about the food industry and turning America into China.
They said, “there is a clear need to warn consumers about businesses associated with egregious, racially-charged actions to help people make more informed spending decisions. Now, when a business gains attention for reports of racist conduct, Yelp will place a new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert on their Yelp page.”
This is literally a Black Mirror episode.
I hope they’re sued into oblivion for this because I can’t imagine how this will turn out.
Oh wait, yes, I can.
Because it’s been happening. Remember Sammy’s Mexican Grill in Tucson, Arizona? I went there and talked to the owners who were starting to get back on their feet before the pandemic after people in their community trashed them on Yelp for being conservative.
Now, suppose enough people decide to review a business poorly based on any arbitrary accusation of racism. In that case, that person’s livelihood and business could be permanently ruined forever because of a giant “this business is racist” sticker.
How is this America? The left is coming up with a complete social merit and demerit system just like China, where our ability to work, go places, etc. will be entirely determined by if we’re conservative or not. I guarantee it. So I hope you’re ready.
Oh, and maybe Yelp could start their new policy on themselves first since there was an entire expose this September about how their Phoenix office is “racist” and a “boys club.”
