Yelp facing class-action lawsuit over extortive "ad sales"
Last year, business review site Yelp was the target of a scathing exposé that accused the company of promoting or even fabricating negative reviews in order to get businesses to pay to have them hidden or removed. Now, the company is facing a class action lawsuit over those practices, which attorney Jared Beck said amounted to “high-tech extortion.”
In an in-depth article that appeared in East Bay Express last year, business owners said that Yelp sales agents would contact them whenever negative reviews appeared for their business. Representatives allegedly would offer to remove or hide the reviews in exchange for agreeing to buy an advertising contract with the site.
