You seem to be saying it's part of Trip Advisers mission to keep people safe?

I don't think it is. And certainly if they chose it not to be that's their right.

I find it part of the worrying 'snowfake' trend of everyone seeming to thing their safety is 100% someone else's responsibility.

And it is also dangerous.

Trip Adviser is 'in or out' on whether it keeps people safe. A half assed attempt can be more dangerous.

> There is plenty of evidence about the criminal actions of many of these resorts

I really find it strange you think a site that rates the quality of food and bedding should be the gateway to this information. It's not crazy, but a strange concept.

Travel Guides back in the day used to do it in extreme cases and normally through innuendo. They always enforced the general idea of general safety when they did.

Forget whether it's part of their mission. People use Trip Advisor because of the level of trust they have in the reviews. If enough people feel TA is censoring reviews, especially to the point of removing reports of sexual assault, you can bet they will sure as hell lose trust in those reviews.
