Trustpilot has now violated at least six of their own policies:
1. Removing a genuine review (receipt provided)
2. Removing based on business disagreement (no evidence from Cloudzy)
3. Tolerating flagging tool misuse (Cloudzy's false "defamation" claim)
4. Failing to investigate in a timely manner (48+ hours)
5. No action against Cloudzy for false flagging
6. No transparency, no communication, no decision
Cloudzy remains documented as:
- A front for abrNOC based in Tehran, Iran
- Host of 17+ APT groups (Iran, North Korea, China, Russia)
- Provider to ransomware gangs and US-sanctioned spyware vendors
- Recommended for blocking by Security Risk Advisors
4-day deadline started May 31. If review not restored by June 4, I go fully public:
- Major tech publications (TechCrunch, Ars Technica, The Register, BleepingComputer)
- Formal complaints (FTC, OFAC, NY State Attorney General)
- Public warning: "Trustpilot cannot be trusted"
The security community is watching. The evidence is public. Trustpilot's silence is a choice.
