Yelp accused of extortion – allegedly demanded payment to remove negative review from website
According to Techcrunch: Two law firms filed a class action lawsuit in federal court alleging unfair business practices by Yelp – “The plaintiff in the suit, a veterinary hospital in Long Beach, CA, is said to have requested that Yelp remove a negative review from the website, which was allegedly refused by the San Francisco startup, after which its sales representatives repeatedly contacted the hospital demanding payments of roughly $300 per month in exchange for hiding or deleting the review.”
