Amazon and Google face UK investigation over fake reviews
NY Post
A UK regulator is probing whether Amazon and Google are doing enough to crack down on fake reviews — and said it will take the tech giants to court if it finds they’ve been violating consumer protection laws.
The Competition and Markets Authority said Friday it had opened a formal probe into Amazon and Google after an initial investigation “raised specific concerns” about the ubiquity of fake reviews. In addition, the regulator said it is concerned about whether Amazon and Google do enough to investigate fake reviews and whether they hit perpetrators with harsh enough penalties to deter them from breaking the rules in the future.
