<p>After this post my Google Maps has now also been banned from reviewing places<br>

<br>

No wonder every place is now a 4.7/5, they all converge to that rating if you just remove all the bad ratings<br>

<br>

Interestingly, my account has been banned because of my reviews in Dubai from ages ago, I know UAE has strict defamation laws, so I think businesses use that to remove reviews there<br>

<br>

I don't know why the Google Maps team is allowing this though, a review or rating is not defamation, it's just an opinion, and Google needs that opinion for people to know where to go<br>

<br>

What Google should be doing I think is defending the people who review and rate places in court wherever they live, because by just allowing any business to remove bad ratings/reviews, they make Google Maps completely non-credible!<br>

<br>

Long term people will just use other apps to find good places and I don't think you want that <a href="https://nitter.net/sundarpichai" title="Sundar Pichai">@sundarpichai</a><br>

<br>

Maybe we need <a href="https://nitter.net/X" title="X">@X</a> Maps with real reviews <a href="https://nitter.net/elonmusk" title="Elon Musk">@elonmusk</a>?</p>

<p>My gf is banned from reviewing places in Europe on Google Maps after she gave one restaurant in Portugal a 1-star review<br>

<br>

When she reviews inside EU it gets auto rejected, outside EU she can review any place<br>

<br>

Free speech in Europe has sadly died a long time ago</p>

能改变理解方式，而不只是重复常识；符合当前抓取需求；它提供了新的理解或解释，而不只是表面观点
