Courts Say Businesses Can’t Censor Yelp Reviews

"The decision confirms the importance of not shutting down public discussion on the Internet just because someone doesn't like what’s being talked about," said Paul Alan Levy, an attorney for Public Citizen. "Review sites like Yelp are vehicles for the free flow of ideas by helping consumers make informed decisions on how to spend their hard-earned dollars."
