the whole comprehensive reviews don't work. time has proven it. at the moment, I'm building a service, where you don't rate the business but rate the actual service you got. no star ratings. but text which is native to every literate individual and can be easily read by machine. reach out, if you wanna sign up for the beta list.

Imagine you operate in an industry where these reviews are not permitted. You have your regulator telling you to remove them with no means of actually achieving that. I saw this first-hand in finance. They ended up "disavowing" the listings so they had no control over them. Now the individual offices can't set their hours, but I guess it made compliance happy.
> industry where these reviews are not permitted. That should be Google's problem, if it wasn't above the law. (Which country/industry?)
