Business owner receives multiple fake negative Yelp reviews from the same reviewer's friends/family after disputing the original review, and Yelp removes only one of them without clear reasoning.
Yelp's review moderation system fails to detect coordinated fake reviews from connected accounts, and only removes a minority of flagrant violations, leaving business owners unable to defend against reputation attacks.
