Google Deletes Millions of Negative TikTok Reviews After Controversial Video - Gizmodo UK

Google has reportedly deleted millions of negative reviews left on TikTok’s Play Store page after a controversial video was removed from the video-sharing network.

According to BBC News, TikTok had a rating of 4.5 stars but it swiftly fell to 1.2 stars during the five days between May 16 and May 21 after a popular influencer’s video was removed from the site.

Google’s response to the review rating manipulation was to simply remove them, which it justified because it declared them fake accounts being set up to destroy the app’s high rating.

But even with Google’s removal of the spam negative reviews, TikTok’s 4.5-star rating hasn’t fully recovered.

Apparently, Google deleted over a million TikTok reviews overnight, that's why the rating increased from 1.2 to 1.6 stars.

Captain Marvel‘s Rotten Tomatoes site was filled with negative reviews before the movie had been publicly released in response to comments made by the lead actor, Brie Larson, who some Marvel fanatics deemed too politically correct.

Unlike Google, Rotten Tomatoes has taken a different approach to the problem.

In May 2019, the review aggregation site added a feature that would allow readers to see whether a reviewer had been confirmed as seeing the movie they were reviewing
