Yes, I just discovered that the world famous Trip Advisor website actually censors reviews! Now if it is their own board of management or management from the companies being reviewed which censor and take down reviews is uncertain, as it is impossible to get information on their website nor actually communicating with someone in the know (and their self-search guidelines sections are obviously designed to lose you in the process and then force you to give up when your searches yield no results and you keep getting the run-around in the forums and such).
But suffice it to say that they do take down and censor reviews. I believe it is by pressure from the companies being reviewed, as I saw that MANY reviews for a SPECIFIC company were now unavailable when a few weeks ago they appeared online. Of course in today's corporate controlled internet world, the ones with the money will indeed control everything, but it is a sad state when one can not voice their opinion and warn others on websites like Trip Advisor to get ready when they decide to try a company's service. I can't believe they censor reviews. What a shame!
