In the latest, the social media giant – Facebook and E-commerce company eBay have removed more hundreds of accounts and groups who are engaged in trading with fake reviews. This has happened just after the UK announced the antitrust regulatory issues that are flagged concerned over them in the month of June. The UK based group called Competition and Markets Authority commonly known as CMA claimed on wednesday that two of the firms have signed the agreement with the watchdog for promising to enhance over the finding and blocking the misleading reviews that come along with services and products.
In the late summer, we found CMA claiming to have the troubling evidence found over the growing marketplace for the false reviews. The regulator as claimed was found out with more than 100 listings over eBay offering the fake write ups between November 2018 to June 2019, while Facebook groups along with the offers were giving only the fake reviews. While addressing the action that was carried out by the two companies, the CMA claimed that on Wednesday, Facebook was seen pulling not less than 188 groups along with 24 user accounts from the platform while eBay was seen permanently banning more than 140 users that were involved in selling a number of fake reviews.
Fake reviews often seemed to be damaging to the shoppers along with the businesses alike claimed the CEO of CMA claimed the statement. Millions of people are seen shopping for the decision over the reviews that tend to remain untrue and misleading, which the shoppers could have ended up giving for selling out products and services. Thus many of the consumers reading out the fake reviews are taken for a ride for no reason. Coscelli was seen adding that they are pleased to see how Facebook and eBay have done a decent work by committing to deal with the issue that tend to keep their sites free from posting the selling fake reviews.
9However, the CMA claimed that it also found out some new examples for fake reviews that are being sold over sites like Instagram that belongs to Facebook. The regulator then claimed that it had reported the matter to Facebook and the company has claimed that they have started the investigation into this matter. It also has focussed on saying that it is not alleging both the company for intentionally allowing the proliferation of misleading scores.
