Hotel fines guests for bad reviews

CrazyPaul said:
BUT if it's true and the hotel still fines the couple, that's not right. The hotel should file a lawsuit against the couple for defamation which requires the hotel to prove it instead of fining them.

I see this as violation of 1st amendment and i think alcu should start get busy with this.

I done prove my wife that review isnt as accurate as she thinks it was.
There are too much "customer driven engineering" and it should be banned. Meaning if company dont want bad review, then dont offer review, period. Like all or none.
Now u guys see what I am saying? I knew there are too many "political fixes" that average Americans would have no clue, and wont believe it until fact is showing, hahaha! Fact never shows up if one wants hide. Corporation americans and politicans are getting smarter. Thanks to Nixon ERA.

a violation of 1st Amendment? how? it only protects you from government, not companies.
 
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Some hotels have a good reputation stretch, but if something is amiss, I do it the old fashioned way. I bring it up personally with management to resolve it.

Yelp insiders and executives sold off more than $81 million in artificially inflated stock while deceiving shareholders about the company’s business practices and financial outlook, shareholders are alleging in a federal class action lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.

The suit, led by plaintiff Joseph Curry, alleges that the review website deceived shareholders about the quality of the reviews on its website and business practices including “requiring business customers to pay to suppress negative reviews.” When information about the tactics became public, shares plummeted — but, the suit alleges, not before top executives could unload shares at a major profit. Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman, it alleges, sold over 132,000 shares for proceeds of over $2.5 million.

This week Yelp celebrated its 10th anniversary. Last week, it reported its first quarterly profits, with shares at $67.78.

Shares peaked in March at over $98, but began to sink after claims about extortion practices at the company resurfaced in March. They continued to fall after the Federal Trade Commission released a letter in April detailing the 2,046 complaints it had received about the company since 2008.

The suit alleges that suspect business practices include the display of reviews that “were not all authentic ‘firsthand’ reviews, but instead included fraudulent reviews by reviewers who did not have first-hand experience with the business being reviewed” and “algorithms purportedly designed to screen unreliable reviews [that] did not comprehensively do so.”

The suit’s allegations of Yelp’s suspect business practices are based in previous media reports on the tactics. The company issued a statement to Reuters that said the allegations “are without merit” and that it “will vigorously contest them.”
