As reported by TechCrunch, a judge in the Netherlands ordered Google to remove fake reviews posted about a daycare center in Amsterdam. But the judge went one step further and ruled that the search giant must also unmask those who posted the bogus reviews.
When users searched for the daycare center, they'd find a Google Maps listing and several harassing and false reviews, including one claiming the nursery harmed children, according to TechCrunch.
