A noble effort, for sure, but to properly adjudicate this could consume boundless resources.

On the other hand, paying Yelp money to take down such notices from a business's page could be a robust revenue stream. Didn't something like this happen before?

Good intention or not, it reeks of ochlocracy and ignorance, and throw in potential quasi-extortion-for-revenue tactics.

If you read the article, the "credible media outlet" would be adjudicating. If it is defamatory, they can take it up with the outlet.
