No review would be deleted by a simple click from one person or even groups of people. There are methods to contain the actions of fringe groups bent on removing all references to a certain subject, such as send messages to all interested parties asking whether or not they wish the content to remain on the site, the number of votes for the content or against would surely increase and the action to take would be more inline to the wishes of the site's population.
Of course I haven't thought my plan all the way through, since everything is always subject to change, there's never an end to anything.

The problem there was that Amazon decided to take action internally rather than leave the decision in the hands of its userbase.
Please keep in mind that these problems will vanish in a copyright free world where everything is able to be read before purchasing.
