Abstract
This article focuses on consumer-generated reviews (CGRs) which are an increasingly influential source of consumer information. In particular, the article highlights specific problems associated with CGRs, which questions their role as a reliable information source. Flowing from this, the article calls for closer regulatory scrutiny of review platforms who play an important intermediary role in facilitating the provision of CGRs. To this end, the article considers possible regulatory responses in the European Union which may address some of the issues highlighted.
