In the the days before the internet, the only source to combat poor business practices were shows like "Fight Back", news paper and major media.
Since the birth of the internet, the public has found that they can communicate directly with each other and no longer need to rely on mass media to fight back. Big corporate censorship has taken a back seat.... or has it?
Then came the birth of online review sites. Companies fear the effective weapon of online sites and social media. Companies such as Trip Adviser and YELP have become household names that we thought we could rely on and trust as a reliable source for customer reviews. We thought these sites were repositories of information that are not censored.
What is the real story behind Yelp? After all, why would they sink all of the money into a "free blog" and what do they have to gain? The truth is starting to surface. The fact is.. Yelp Censors. They have established business relationships with companies that utilize and depend on Yelp reviews to generate more business. It is a mutual relationship. This leads to censorship of poor reviews, even when they are justified and accurate.
There are many stories by people that faced account closure because they posted a negative review. Even our own YELP account was closed after posting a valid and confirmed negative review of a company.
While we don't yet know how Yelp benefits with their relationship with these establishments - we are about to find out. And when we do, we will post our update her and issue a press release to major media sources. We have close connections with large networks and look forward to sharing our story once this case is investigated.
We are seeking to hear stories from others who have been CENSORED by Yelp. In the mean time, we are recommending that people BOYCOTT Yelp and move their loyalty to other review sites such as Yelp-Uncensored.com.

Tourists ripped off during trip to Naples & Capri Island
TOP STORY:
Capri, Italy January 23, 2019
It has been reported that an investigation is underway against a "tourist trap" being operated by Maria Grazia's Restaurant on the island of Capri, Italy. It was discovered that an undisclosed tour boat operator has been taking unwitting passengers to the island of Capri for day tours. While touring around the island, the captain of the yacht steered the tourist away from other local restaurants and lured them to a restaurant that has a financial arrangement with the captain of the tour boat. As the yacht circled a small cove, the captain stopped the yacht and anchored. A small dingy came out to meet the yacht carried the passengers back to shore. They were taken to a delipated beachside restaurant, Maria Grazia’s Restaurant Via Marina del Cantone 65 Nerano - Massa Lubrense Napoles Italy.
What happened next was right out of movie set. The waitress and captain embraced each other, thanking him for bringing the tourist to their completely empty restaurant. The waitress approached the guests and said a menu was not necessary – she would bring them a bowl of pasta they could share “family style”. A short time later, bowl of pasta was brought out to the middle of the table and divided among four guests. Some house wine and tiny portion of fish to share accompanied the meal.
Much to their surprise, no check was provided. The waitress walked up and handed them a piece of paper asking for $363.43 USD. The shocked guests then realized they were taken to a tourist trap. It also came into focus that each of the employees, including the waitress were wearing expensive Rolex watches.
The guests were forced into paying the bill + a 20% gratuity (can you believe it?) before the captain would take them back to the Yacht. With only hours remaining until their cruise ship was to depart, the guests had no option but to pay the bill under protest.
When the guests returned to the USA, they contacted the restaurant about their complaint. The restaurant responded in a disrespectful and threatening manner. The guests then learned that they were not alone. There were dozens of complaints from previous guests who experienced the same “rip off” from this restaurant.
The guests are considering legal action against the restaurant and tour operator. The tour operator has been contacted and apparently is attempting to negotiate a 50% refund for the passengers.
This is a developing story which will be updated as soon as information becomes available.
YelpCensors.com recommends that anyone dining in Capri check reviews and select a reputable restaurant and ethical tour operator to avoid being caught in this illegal tourist trap.
