問題詳情

IV.閱讀測驗:l2(每題2分)[A]The Internet has been a help to business, reducing advertising costs and increasing visibility for companies everywhere. Unfortunately, such freedom of access to information is a double-edged sword. Crowd-sourced systems in an increasingly competitive environment can lead to some dirty tricks. Fro example, Google Maps is a useful tool that provides all kinds of details about a business, but it is also a partially crowd-sourced venture. Anyone can enter information一a rival business is free to input a fake address, incorrect business hours, or the wrong telephone number for a competitor. Sadly, businesses also post fake negative reviews of their competitors on sites like Yelp. It has become so common that it can be difficult to tell the genuine reviews from the fakes.Google Maps is also littered with thousands of businesses that don’t even exist. Often, their links direct users to malicious sites. Locksmiths in particular have been completely taken over by scammers. Thus, if your keys are locked inside your car, don,t just call the nearest locksmith on Google Maps—a large percentage of them are unlicensed and illegal. They only take cash and will not hesitate to take advantage of you. Dishonest practices like these not only harm business owners but consumers as well.
