Yelp is just looking for another extortion angle. You'll get a Racism Alert, but for a small monthly fee, you can make it go away.


Yelp needs to be sued out of existence.


This.

Also Yelp, like certain other evil tech companies (like Google and FB) probably tries to brainwash its employees into thinking that they're not evil, and this feature will help with that: "see! we're policing racism against BIPOCs! we are on the right side of history."


Would you please stop posting flamewar-style comments to HN? We're trying for something else here.

Also, could you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
