Yelp flagging businesses accused of racism on its review platform
"As the nation reckons with issues of systemic racism, we’ve seen in the last few months that there is a clear need to warn consumers about businesses associated with egregious, racially-charged actions to help people make more informed spending decisions," Yelp said in the blog post. https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/yelp-flagging-businesses-accused-racism
Yelp is racist themselves with the ability to filter businesses by the owner’s ethnicity.
What does stock market think about the update?
If you have actual verified racial incidents then sure. My concern would be a 17 year old walking in and feeling entitled to something as teenagers tend to be then claim it is due to racism. I was accused of racism once in high school because I didn’t talk to someone. I don’t owe anyone my time but this person seemed to think I did. Imagine if I were required to post that I’ve been accused of racism on Facebook without details due to that incident. I’d have been denied a college education and a much more limited career path.
Just a new way of extorting small businesses.
