Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit Thursday against Yelp, accusing the crowdsourcing review platform of misleading users about pregnancy resource centers in light of its CEO’s pro-choice advocacy.
The lawsuit says Yelp engaged in deceptive trade practices and violated state law by posting a consumer notice on the business accounts of pregnancy resource centers that says they “typically provide limited medical services and may not have licensed medical professionals onsite.”
Mr. Paxton, a Republican, said Yelp also failed to remove the statement when the centers’ reached out for corrections. He alleges in the 12-page complaint filed in state court that this was intentional, noting that “Yelp was candid that politics were the motivation for this discrepancy.” After that ruling, Texas and other conservative-led states have passed laws to limit access to abortion services. In Texas, abortion is illegal except to save the life of the mother.
