"A Dallas barbecue restaurant on Inwood near Love Field owned by Lauran Weiner was mistakenly targeted after social posts about the Waxahachie campaign event tagged the wrong business; the mix-up resulted in angry emails, one-star Google reviews (many of which later disappeared), and scams. Weiner posted an Instagram reel explaining that her business had supported the Ronald McDonald charity that night, urged people to stop negative actions and instead support local charities, and said the mistaken boycott threatens employees and other small businesses. Her social-media person traced the problem to a TikTok that had incorrectly tagged the restaurant." - Courtney E. Smith
