UK Hotel Adds Hefty Charge For Bad Reviews Online

Posted by Soulskill on from the will-they-never-learn dept.

Bizzeh writes: A British couple has been "fined" £100 by a Blackpool hotel for leaving critical comments on Trip Advisor. The UK's Trading Standards organization is investigating the incident, saying it may breach regulations. The Broadway Hotel's booking policy reads (in small print), "Despite the fact that repeat customers and couples love our hotel, your friends and family may not. "For every bad review left on any website, the group organizer will be charged a maximum £100 per review."

    They are not the same, but both are bad. Without regulation there would be no censorship, DEA and other evil things.

    By that logic, without regulation there would be people kicking in your front door, raping your daughter and taking your shit.
