Google agrees to remove reviews of Irish schools after principals present evidence of harmful content
Briefly

Google has announced that it will remove online reviews of Irish schools from its search results and maps. This decision comes after the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD) presented compelling evidence to Google, which highlighted the serious challenges and difficulties schools and teachers faced due to negative reviews. Over a period of 18 months, the NAPD collaborated with an online safety firm to gather this evidence, demonstrating the necessity for the removal of reviews that were harming school reputations.
The campaign led by the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals aimed to address the serious issues arising from negative online reviews affecting schools and teachers.
Evidence provided to Google highlighted how negative reviews had caused significant difficulties for educational institutions, prompting the removal of such feedback from their platforms.
