The review suppression rule is hilarious. The intent seems to be to prevent people from using asymmetric access to the legal system to bully reviewers into removing reviews they don't like. The remedy? The thing the law was trying to prevent.

I don't understand this cryptic hinting. What's wrong with the rule, and what thing that the law was trying to prevent does the rule mandate as a remedy?
