    Software designer here. Quick question on the spec. How do you want us to validate that?

      Totally invasive idea here but just spitballing.

      Take a photo at the location, upload photo so that EXIF data can be used to geolocate you at the business you are reviewing. Photo doesnt have to be used in the review, just as a passkey to verify you were St least present at the place you were reviewing at least once.

      Cons: faking EXIF data let’s people review places they never went to, sharing a photo with a horde of review bombers so they can all upload it and still reviewbomb the place

      Fun thought experiment.
