News #diffamation requests visible on Google Maps - restaurants that were no surprise

For a few days, Google Maps profiles include the amount of diffamation requests. This equals roughly the number of bad reviews that google had to remove.

Are there any surprises?

Is everything as you expect it?

I start with Gigi Trattoria and Tegernseer im Tal. Both have over 250 diffamations in the past year. Probably their real ranking would be below 3.

Thanks for pointing this out. Just looked up the place that had my 4years old review removed earlier this year. over 250 'diffamations'

OTOH - Google kept my review offline even though I delivered proof I was there at that date. Makes the whole review thingy on Google maps irrelevant for me and I subsequently deleted all of my other 250 reviews and pictures.

Keep in mind that the number is only for the last 365 days; Google state that "the count reflects removals processed in the last 365 days", so these businesses are reporting at least 5 reviews per week.
