问题
Just notice Google Place API has this update, the problem is all of the names are changed to A Google user and it looks like including people is not posted by anonymous:
author_name the name of the user who submitted the review.
Anonymous reviews are attributed to "A Google user".

I am using a simple JS plugin to display reviews on a website, right now all of the Review author names are changed to A Google user: https://github.com/peledies/google-places
Here is the demo: https://jsfiddle.net/1ta6ekc2/14/, and I try to change a lot of places which the author name is still the same.
From a normal search popup review page, all of those review author names are fine: https://www.google.ca/search?ei=JwKQW-3zB4i6tQXSpZjwBg&q=citizenM+New+York+Times+Square+Hotel&oq=citizenM+New+York+Times+Square+Hotel&gs_l=psy-ab.3...3952.3952.0.4677.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1.2.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.3si1JLloRdA#lrd=0x89c258564165b30f:0xdebbed18bae58050,1,,,
Is that a bug or just a new rollout feature from Google? Thanks!
