6:53Now PlayingAmazon.com is suing 1000 people for falsifying product reviews. The shopping website noticed services on the internet offering to write favorable reviews for products for a $5 fee. Amazon believes this hurts the credibility of their site and are filing a lawsuit against these services. Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich (Pop Trigger), and Grace Baldridge (Pop Trigger) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

“Amazon is going on the offensive against fake reviews, filing a lawsuit against more than 1,000 people who allegedly asked for money to post about products.
The online marketplace is suing people who had been offering on Fiverr.com, a website that lets people do tasks for as little as $5, to write and post fake reviews. Amazon did not include the website in the complaint, choosing instead to go after the people writing the reviews. The lawsuit claims that a group of anonymous people — termed as "John Does" in the filing — have been offering to write five-star reviews for products in return for payment.
Amazon's review section is among its most important features, offering users the ability to comb through positive, negative and lukewarm feedback on the items. The company has been working on other ways to improve the quality of its reviews, recently revamping its system to give more weight to reviews of people who bought the product through Amazon.”
