Go look it up yourself.

There was no chilling effect... the customers were at complete liberty to post negative reviews without the threat of legal sanction. The unfair trading term that mentions the financial penalty more likely infers tacit approval of negative reviews.

But how would they go about legal sanctions if they charged the customer for the privilege of speaking their mind? That would be a right pickle.
