Samppa Granlund said he occasionally received one-star reviews on Google from people who, in his opinion, had not visited his business. He mentioned checking the other reviews from one reviewer and noticed that they had given one star to restaurants for serving meat, to Saga Furs for animal-related reasons, and to another company for climate-related issues. Granlund wondered how many activists were going around on Google leaving reviews to express their dissatisfaction. Granlund compared the phenomenon to the cancel culture discussions surrounding Metallica. According to him, the band faced a backlash when it did not take a stance on the Free Palestine issue. He assessed that remaining silent on politics was no longer enough; individuals also had to support the position deemed right to avoid being put on a boycott list. #Metallica #arvostelut #aktivismi (translated)
