I’ve noted many posts on the subject of shadow banning of reviews, and have read google’s corporate replies. Here I wish to point out and underline that for google to implicitly represent to a guide that one’s review is public when in fact the review is not public is a matter of fraud on the part of google. Such fraudulent activity by Big Tech has caused – and causes – many to distrust/ mistrust Big Tech and the powers-that-be behind it, including the fraudulent major media which is factually full of lies and distortion.

For your information, @ponitora
Google Maps is currently developing a new mechanism to inform Maps Users when contributions are removed. This will in most cases include an option to appeal the removal.
