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.
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.
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.

Hi there, reviews on Yelp should only be based on first-hand experiences versus what someone may have seen in the news/social media. Our top priority is the trust and safety of our users, so we will be linking to a news article where they can learn more about the incident.
Racism and police brutality have no place in our society. We stand in solidarity with our Black employees, users, and business owners. We all must use our voices and votes to stand against injustice and systematic oppression in this country. Black Lives Matter.

To be clear, we condemn this behavior. That said, we've temporarily disabled posting because it’s our policy that all Yelp reviews must be based on first-hand customer experiences with a business. When this activity decreases you'll be able to review again.
