Terrorism with reviews against businesses

Businesses in Albania are facing a dangerous form of cyber "terrorism". The State Police identified a suspected and coordinated activity in cyberspace where over 10 thousand accounts have massively published negative comments and ratings to damage the reputation of Albanian businesses.

The General Director of the State Police, Skënder Hita, in a public reaction, emphasized that this act violates not only the interests of the affected businesses, but also fair competition, consumer trust, and the perception of Albania as a safe destination.

An act of terrorism has been committed against Albanian businesses by these negative reviews, businesses that have been violated in front of the eyes of foreigners. The damage caused to businesses is that thousands of employees are at risk from the madness of a group that has committed a terrorist act against the business.

Beyond what Google has done by returning stars to business pages , what needs to happen is that they need to pull negative reviews.

This terrorist act committed against a business may have given pleasure to 50 or 100 people and a few crazy people who attack businesses, but Albanians are not stupid enough not to understand that these are anarchists and nothing more than that.

Albanians have responded differently to the terrorist act against business.

In the case of Gjergj Luca, there are even more people in his restaurants and businesses than before. Albanians are responding to the negative reviews with deeds by filling the businesses that have been hit.

In all the businesses that these anarchists have attacked and accused of terrorist acts against businesses, they have received a response from Albanian citizens.

These businesses have more clients today precisely because citizens do not accept the actions of these anarchists who may have the right to protest and demand Edi Rama's resignation, but cannot attack businesses.

Albania cannot return to '46, when merchants were raped, their property was taken away. Albania cannot return to a dictatorship. Today we are in the dictatorship of reviews. With this terrorist act they showed that this is all they can do, leave a negative review.

But if they were in power and had the opportunity to put the shackles on, they would return Albania to the darkness of communism, which was a terrorist system against business, and they are doing the same thing today./ CNA
