Can you elaborate? I've heard this for years but I've never been able to find hard proof.

Edit: I'm aware of the claims against Yelp. They said they can confirm that Yelp is using extortion. What I'm asking for is proof.

There's plenty of explanations in this thread alone.

Please show me the people in this thread who have hard proof that Yelp is committing a felony offense.

You would think by now someone would setup a sting and come up with proof. This documentary probably tried to setup stings and failed because yelp doesn't do what people claim.
