My friend’s business got spammed by horrendous & false Google Reviews, and Google took his company off Maps & Reviews entirely. This is a huge hit on his business. He’s already appealed to Google, but not getting any response. Anyone know what he can do??

Guess it's time to work on irresponsible and unsafe AI
NIST has issued new instructions to scientists that partner with the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI) that eliminate mention of 'AI safety,' 'responsible AI,' and 'AI fairness' in order to reduce 'ideological bias, to enable human flourishing and economic competitiveness.'
Under Trump, AI Scientists Are Told to Remove ‘Ideological Bias’ From Powerful Models
A directive from the National Institute of Standards and Technology eliminates mention of “AI safety” and “AI fairness.”
