Google removes Reviews widget when you add the word 'sucks' to a company search

I search for a local company on Google. 'City Boss Roofing Calgary' and there's a bunch of results, and on the right a widget giving basic details about the company. I decided I wanted to see if I could find some negative news. When I did the same search but added the word sucks my interface flashed as the Company details widget disappeared! An interesting design problem that they seem to have taken a pretty opinionated stance on. I think it probably tacitly dissuades people who don't like the company from leaving reviews. If you know a good roofing company in YYC... https://ibb.co/vDd8dJt https://ibb.co/phqSjfk
