Facebook caught skewing the review score of its Portal device on Amazon
This comes after The Verge spotted a Twitter comment from New York Times columnist Kevin Roose who suggested that the reviewers’ names were strangely similar to those employed at Facebook.
This information suggests that Facebook has been bending the review rating of the product in the company’s favour. However, a follow up tweet by Facebook’s VR chief Andrew Bosworth claimed that the reviews would be taken down, and were not “cordinated nor directed” by Facebook itself.
Reviewing your employer's products is definitely against Amazon's rules. It's also not exactly an indicator of confidence in how well they're selling organically! pic.twitter.com/vcXzderCXZ
