Trustpilot Repeatedly Removes Authentic Reviews Through Incorrect Automated Detection

19

Trustpilot has once again started to act improperly and inaccurately in the handling of my reviews. Under the false allegation of “ensuring the community can trust the reviews they read on Trustpilot”, the platform has repeatedly used a so‑called automated detection technology that allegedly looks for unusual behavioral patterns. This ridiculous automated system has consistently misidentified me and my activity, wrongly flagging my legitimate reviews as suspicious, devaluing them and delaying their publication by treating them as false. In addition, the so‑called team of experts that Trustpilot claims to employ has taken my reviews offline. These reviews are based on real experiences and contain accurate and lawful information, yet they have been removed. I have even received emails from Trustpilot stating that some of my reviews would not be published online and asking for evidence after flagging them, although the reviews themselves are already authentic. From my perspective, this team has not provided proper service, continues to provide problematic and inconsistent service, and appears untrained and incompetent. I also strongly suspect that they may be acting in favor of certain companies, instead of protecting the rights of genuine reviewers. Over time, Trustpilot has provided me with very poor service in this matter. They have repeatedly blocked or attempted to block the same comments and taken them offline again and again. About three days ago, this situation repeated itself, and my authentic reviews were once more interfered with. Trustpilot does not have the right to block or take offline these legally accurate and authentic reviews. Their attempts to block my genuine reviews with false and fabricated reasons, allegedly based on fake sources and, in my opinion, financial benefits from companies, seriously undermine the credibility and integrity of Trustpilot. I request that Trustpilot immediately stop interfering with my legitimate, lawful and authentic reviews and stop using incorrect and unfair automated detection methods against my account. I also expect all my genuine reviews that have been wrongly blocked or taken offline to be restored and for Trustpilot to ensure that similar unjust interventions do not occur again in the future.

Major Complaints Against Trustpilot • Flaw ed Automated Moderation: Users and business on platforms like the Better Business Bureau report that Trustpilot's automated AI systems frequently remove legitimate, authentic user reviews while failin ing to catch coordinated fake negative or positive reviews. • Pay-to-Dispute Model: Many small business criticize Trustpilot’s business model, argu ing that forcing companies to purchase expensive monthly subscriptions just to effectively challenge or flag potentially fraudulent feedback feels unethical or like extortion. • Unresponsive Customer Support: Users and account managers frequently experience frustration with slow response times, rigid enforcement of vague content policies, and a lack of transparent appeal processes when accounts or reviews are suspended. • Data and Privacy Concerns: Reviewers often com plain about being pressed for sensitive private information (like invoices or personal identity verification) when their legitimate reviews are flagged, while feeling that their data isn't sufficiently protected from third-party exploitation. Trustpilot distorts and extorts the genuine authentic reviews repeatedly

I did not merely share "comments" with you. As a long-time customer since 2018, I submitted feedback—backed by evidence—detailing the injustices I faced and the irregularities and corrupt practices inherent in your management style. I explained how you manipulated and devalued my genuine reviews, blocked my accounts using illicit and fraudulent methods, and sought to profit from paying companies. I also highlighted how you imposed undisclosed, biased, and unfair blocks on my account. I hope you have taken note of my complaints and the feedback regarding your poor management, because you stubbornly persist in this fraudulent and mismanaged approach. I AM continuing—and will continue—to share details of all your fraudulent activities with everyone and every company across other platforms; you cannot stop this. You can mark my words: I will keep telling everyone about all the fraud you have committed.
