I've heard of places where HR requires you to write a (probably) glowing Glassdoor review during onboarding. Or severance which is conditioned on not writing a negative review.

Goodhart's Law at work.

Easy enough: Write the glowing review, then contact Glassdoor and report your company. I'm fairly sure Glassdoor would then remove all the reviews.
No, they'd offer the company to remove the negative review for a fee.
Write a good review, receive your severance and then change it to a negative review.
In some countries the law specifically mentions that such terms of severance agreement is not valid and cannot be enforced.
