Multiple people report that comments such as "Service was slow", or three star rating without comment were removed.
If Google started to show how many reviews were removed, it was because the lawfare started to seriously affect the ratings.

My guess is that often reviews are generalizing (easy mistake to make). E.g. they say "service is slow", when they should say: "When I was there on Thursday at noon service was slow for my table".
As an European, this attitude is absolutely fucking shocking.
Police force their way into my home without excellent cause to do so? I'd want someone executed. It would be unforgivable.
It has nothing to do with the guns, but with the absolutely gross violation of the most basic rights codified by the ECHR.
>This would be more about privacy violations and unnecessary chicanery.
Which is actually worse than the typical American shooting. US cops do not typically go to the scene planning to murder someone, in this case the German cops very much knowingly went to harass someone for calling the German interior minister a prick. It is absolutely egregious premeditated harassment.
German minister of interior, the guy in charge of the police, sending the cops to harass people for calling him a prick. Even the current US admin is not so thin-skinned.
So maybe Americans should worry about their own business and not tell a country with a much longer history what is best for them?
Idk what exactly happend. But somehow they got approval from court to collect evidence of the crime (electronic devices) via house search. As said, the harm caused by the house search was later deemed unproportional to the crime.
Who dictates the "should”?
The German law simply removes the need to assume anything.
According to[0] the (aptly named) Lawfare Institute:
Since the term “lawfare” is controversial in some circles, and subject to a
variety of interpretations and uses, a bit more explanation about our
understanding of the concept is in order. Going back to the 1950s, the term
has frequently been used in contexts wholly unrelated to national security,
ranging from divorce law to courtroom advocacy to colonialism to airfare for
lawyers.
When you see the pattern, best to stopped arguing with such users as their goal is not an honest debate, their goal is just to 'DDoS' you with their opinion.
