Is that true? I just checked the reviews for all of the McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania on Google Maps ^[4]^ and none of them appear to have been review bombed recently or have any mention of the UHI shooter ^[1][2][3]^.

Good catch. Given that that it's currently still available ^[1]^, I would guess that it's likely not the case that Google is purging reviews. Imo, one review is hardly review bombing, but at least that's proof of one claim made by a news outlet ^[2]^ (It's terrible, imo, that we have to be the ones fact checking claims being made by news organizations. Doesn't that make us the journalists?).

      Users left reviews for at least three McDonald's locations in or around Altoona, Pennsylvania, with dozens of people leaving one star ratings and complaining about "rats." Others more explicitly called out "snitches."
