Uptick In Complaints From Businesses That Google Is Taking Down Their Reviews

Google has clearly unleashed an updated ML-based review spam algo that is catching a great many more reviews. Some percentage of legitimate reviews are also affected.

While possible that it is a bug, it’s more likely that this is an artifact of Google having a poorly trained AI on the loose and cranking up the dial on what constitutes a pattern for identifying review attributes that are similar to the known spammy reviews in the training set.
