User review platform Yelp announced on Thursday that it is launching a new feature to flag businesses accused of racism.

The crowdsourced web and mobile-based review service said in a blog post that members of Yelp’s User Operations team will apply the new label, called the Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert, on businesses “when there’s resounding evidence of egregious, racist actions from a business owner or employee, such as using overtly racist slurs or symbols.”
