Tech giant says reviews responding to employee’s tip-off that led to suspect’s arrest violate its policies.
Google has pulled a flood of bad reviews about the McDonald’s restaurant where police arrested Luigi Mangione, the suspect charged in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Internet users flooded the restaurant with negative reviews after Mangione’s arrest on Monday following a tip-off from a McDonald’s employee at the outlet in Altoona, Pennsylvania, a city of about 40,000 people.
Some of the reviews included references to the healthcare industry, as well as “rats” in the kitchen and “narc” employees, using slang terms for police informants.
“This location has rats in the kitchen that will make you sick and your insurance isn’t going to cover it,” one reviewer wrote.
“More like Narc-donalds … I hope obesity and heart disease are in-network in PA. Deny, defend, depose, diarrhea @ McDonald’s …” one post said, CBS News reported.
