In a free society, people or other entities may give opinions as they
wish. Including, but not limited to, opinions about restaurants,
movies, companies, sites, books, and so on.
This clearly means that other people or entities can then pay for
these opinions, by subscribing to restaurant reviews or with Internet
blocking and filtering services.
The "reasons" for a review are irrelevant.
In a free society, that is.
Some here seem to keep forgetting this.
