Do you realise Goodreads is a social media site made up of users, not a set of advertisements paid for by publishers/authors?
False advertising by whom? When people talk about "false advertising" they are usually talking about the actual company lying about their product, or people they have directly paid or compensated lying.
And are you talking about star ratings (which Goodreads has ALWAYS clearly said are completely up to the user to decide how to use) or actual reviews stating that they have read the book?
No-one's consumer rights are being trampled here.
