Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman isn't happy. He penned an open letter on Thursday bashing Indiana's new religious freedom bill, railing against "laws that would allow for business to discriminate against consumers based on certain traits including sexual orientation."

He further said:

"[It] is unconscionable to imagine that Yelp would create, maintain, or expand a significant business presence in any state that encouraged discrimination by businesses against our employees, or consumers at large."

He also hinted that Yelp would boycott any other states that considered passing similar laws, naming Arkansas as a state they were keeping tabs on.
