TripAdvisor puts warning badges on resorts where attacks reported

TripAdvisor is now putting warning badges on its site for resorts that have had claims of rape and assault.

Engadget reports the website came under fire after reports they deleted reviews from users who said they had been attacked at certain resorts, including the Grand Velas Riveria Maya, where a man says he was drugged and sexually assaulted by a massage therapist, and the Iberostar Paraiso Maya, where at least 3 women reported being raped.

They did put one woman's review back up.

The site reportedly issued a release saying it apologizes, but the reviewers say the site has not contacted any of them personally.

The warning badges advise users there have been "media reports or events" about the resort and that they may want to do more research.
