    Social Media and false advertising

    Heres an intriguing question, taht I suspect may surface in due course.

    A company uses Facebook as a presence (marketing?), obviously they tout their wares and people like, comment etc.
    But what if, they remove NEGATIVE posts(and not obviously malicious - eg you suck). EG, a person comments that they were at restaurant and it was terrible.

    The company removes these. Are they misrepresenting? False advertising?

    Thoughts?
