Today, we’re announcing a new consumer alert to stand against racism. In the last few months, we’ve seen 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.

Communities have always turned to Yelp in reaction to current events, and our User Operations team already places alerts on business pages when we notice an unusual uptick in reviews that are based on what someone may have seen in the news, rather than on a first-hand experience.

Now, when a business gains attention for reports of racist conduct, Yelp will place a new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert on their Yelp page to inform users, along with a link to a news article where they can learn more.

As long as they publicize and require who did the reporting, then I have no problem with it

Wow, this may be one of the most incredibly concerning things relating to online platforms I've seen in a long time.

Yea, that will go over well. I had to kick a customer out once for yelling the F-bomb and N-word over and over again in front of families and I was called a racist for making him leave.

The types of restaurants who get flagged for this will likely be in deep proggy areas and be owned by progs.

Also, it’s happening again:

Just deleted the app. Would like to let them know why but of course they have no published contact info.

“Yelp advises the consumer this establishment has shown racist behavior. Their ice cream machine was, in fact, working.”
