    At least until it becomes idiotic and they remove that function, yes.

    Burn 'em to the ground!

    What an easy way to identify targets of BLM's violence.

    Will they target businesses accused of racism against Europeans? Or is that considered Okay?

    WOW. Accused of racism? Is that it? Well seems anyone can just obliterate their competitors now and then they will make up accusations right back and all will be great in our Leftist utopia of snowflakes and weaklings.

    So since racism is systemic and everywhere according to the insane Left, no none is safe.

    Won’t be too long before Biden and Dems are supporting Social currency like in China. That way they can destroy anyone’s life they choose right there on the spot. People will force you to raise your fist for BLM or be downvoted while you’re eating dinner. Then by the time you’re finished, your CC has been cancelled because you’re deemed “racist”. Racists aren’t allowed to have credit or a job.

    It’ll happen if they get their way.

    Let's have some fun. Any business you patron who's owner seems to virtue signal progressive values, falsely and maliciously accuse them of the most vile racism, sexism, bigotry, etc that can be imagined. Take to your keyboards warriors!

    I believe calling for a spamming attack on Yelp is illegal. And against forum rules.

    As is slander. You might want to issue a retraction.

    It's a concern when you can just yell "witch" at whomever you decide and watch them be attacked.

    Relatively easy to do when it’s all a 1 way street with a complicit MSM having your back. NYT and other leftist outlets can just claim unnamed sources told them something that Trump did that sounds nice and evil. It runs 24/7 for a week or 2. Idiots believe it with ZERO evidence until it runs its course. Eventually it’s proved to be BS, but the damage is done. The MSM can lie and make **** up week after week about anyone because no one is calling them out on their BS. So the cycle continues and lies grow and grow until candidates are lying about it during debates, while news sources continue to ignore the lies.

    Look at how easy it is to get away with it against a president. Now imagine poor small businesses or private individuals when the MSM wants to destroy you. They did it with a baker. They did it with a teenager smiling. They did it with another teenager just trying to defend himself. It’s endless and dangerous.

    Yeah. Getting a bad review on a privately owned website is definitely the same thing as being executed. Totally.

    Nothing like ******** on the graves of millions of people to make a cheap political point. Sorry, but you are the one doing the shameful "spinning" here.

    Defamation isn't free speech. There is no requirement to provide evidence. It will get fun when BLM is added to the list or those anti-white hacks at SPLC...

    Branding isn't execution, it's a form of social stigmatization.

    Sorta like...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Letter

    It's a thing zealots do to humiliate and ostracize "outcasts".
