Amazon will remove more than 200 million fake reviews in 2020

Amazon said it removed more than 200 million false product reviews from its sites around the world last year as part of efforts to prevent and detect fraud and manipulation.

Amazon said it is also taking legal action against companies that promote false or bogus reviews.

Since 2018, Amazon has filed 30 lawsuits against companies in Germany alone.

It reported that more false assessments were deleted in 2020 than in the past few years.

The Seattle-based company confirmed that it now spends $700 million annually globally on staff and programs designed to monitor and prevent this type of activity.
