Google said that such negative reviews, unrelated to the actual business, “violates” its policies, and hence have been removed.

Don't get me wrong, I also hate Monopolies, but a company exercising their rights on their own platform? Fine by me. Just don't use their platform.

That's a reasonable stance to take when said company is just one competing in a marketplace. But when they are a monopoly operating a quasi-utility that should be public its not good enough.

It's interacting in our country, meaning we can do more than only "don't use it". When the platform is so massive, has little competition, or most other platforms do the same thing in question.. maybe we should do more.
