Google — Google allow slander by proxy, shocking human rights abuses

Google, through its review pages, hosts the defamatory views of people who appear only to be vexatious and to destroy the reputations of others. They allow individuals acting in the ordinary course of their employment to be slandered and named in the court of public opinion for doing nothing more than their job. One of my members of staff is having her life ruined by one of your reviews of a service offered by the organization with whom we are employed and I’m fearful that she will end her life on account of it. Despite both my and her best efforts to secure the removal of (or redaction of her full name and identifying features from) the review so far Google have refused to afford her the dignity of having her full name removed from the site though I’m not even sure a human employee has ever even considered doing so since it now seems that Google are happy for people’s lives to be destroyed by algorithms. Shame on you. She has done nothing wrong and you’re allowing her reputation to be destroyed and threatening her safety by your inaction.
