California Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Yelp Review Suit
The California Supreme Court has agreed to consider a lawsuit that Yelp.com warns could lead to the removal of negative reviews on the popular site.
The court agreed last week to take up an appeal by Yelp of a lower court ruling. The company is asking the state Supreme Court to overturn a court order requiring it to remove posts against a San Francisco law firm.
Yelp says that if the ruling is allowed to stand, it will open the door for businesses to force the company to remove critical reviews.
