In this episode of Ask Google Webmasters, John Mueller goes over how Google search engine approaches user generated content on websites, how to block this content from being indexed (if needed), and how to flag links within user-generated content. The question was submitted by @amitkrseo. Thank you!

Please buy a better mic the high pitched noise is annoying.
And what about the reviews, "user generated content" on ecommerce sites items pages? I agree that reviews should be monitored, but still it is unfair, the reviews to be a part of the page content for the search engines, as that they can hurt instead of helping.
To exclude reviews or comments like we can with rel="ugc"? For example using schema like https://schema.org/UserComments . Or should reviews be removed entirely even if they do not have links pointing to those users sites?
great thanks alot!
Thanks for useful information!
what about external links supplied by "other people"? specifically the rel="noopener noreferrer"
