Recalling the days before online discourse became tainted with the suspicion of fraud and fakery, Thales Teixeira, a professor of marketing at Harvard Business School, grew wistful.
But now things are somewhat murkier. I n Kansas, earlier this year, a cattle farmer named Randy Winchester decided to take his daughter to a fun park in Branson, Missouri, where visitors can see the largest herd of Scottish Highland cattle in the midwest. As it turned out, Winchester was a bit underwhelmed, so he returned home and gave the park a mediocre rating on TripAdvisor.
Soon, a man identifying himself as the owner of the fun park began bombarding both Winchester and his daughter with calls and messages, threatening to sue them. Incidents such as this are part of a worrying trend. Genuine reviews, which can be difficult to authenticate and expensive to defend, often pose more serious difficulties than fake reviews, which the company is reasonably skilled at discovering and deleting.
The truth is a far bigger problem for TripAdvisor, which has lately become entangled in debates over free speech that it has struggled to resolve.
In many cases, when a business files a Slapp suit, its objective is not to win in court — US free speech laws protect negative reviews — but to bully the reviewer into deleting the offending comment. While many states have passed anti-Slapp legislation to protect consumers from censorship and mounting legal fees, most are not strong enough to discourage businesses from pursuing them.
Businesses have also developed more subtle tactics designed to stop critical reviews from appearing in the first place. After the policy was mocked in the pages of the New York Post, the hotel received more than 3, negative reviews on its Yelp and Facebook pages. Soon afterwards, it shut down. Yet although TripAdvisor has fought to keep legitimate reviewers from being hounded into removing their posts by litigious owners, it has also struggled to come up with a coherent idea of which posts it is willing to defend.
But while these categories seem relatively clearcut on paper, they can be ambiguous in practice. The question of what language is permitted on TripAdvisor is not purely theoretical. The same question is currently bedevilling other platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, which have struggled to face up to the tangible effects their virtual worlds can have upon the physical one.
And in some cases, insufficient information can have tragic consequences. The next year, another woman reported being assaulted by a security guard at the same hotel.
This is a whole new era of corporate accountability. The hotel where Love was raped was badged for 90 days on TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor says the warning was up on mobile for the entire 90 days and that any disparities were due to product updates.
Then the warning disappeared. D espite its recent difficulties, the number of reviews on TripAdvisor keeps growing. At present, more than new posts are uploaded to TripAdvisor every minute.
You want one from yesterday, not from last week, not from last month, not from last year. Even so, TripAdvisor is still worth only half of what it was in June , and its shares dropped again in August after it missed its revenue forecast.
Where Maffei saw positive results, the travel industry news site Skift saw warning signs. One reason for the lacklustre results might be that the company has simply stretched itself too thin. When TripAdvisor first started, consumer reviews were a new and exciting thing; now they are everywhere. TripAdvisor used to promise its users a kind of escape, whether that be simply daydreaming over a vacation or actually booking one.
The internet, too, has long been thought of as a place where one goes to get away from where one is. Travel and tech have both been championed as sectors where the normal rules do not apply — if what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, you might as well move fast and break things. Yet at a moment where such adages now seem horribly outdated, the future of TripAdvisor and similar enterprises seems less certain than it once did.
