Louis Rossmann is making a wiki to help people hold companies accountable for anti-consumer behavior.
I love the name “Consumer Action Taskforce” for CAT, some artwork and images would be nice, but that can be a feature that the user can choose if they want to, obviously to lower the bandwidth costs.
Assuming this gains traction, I don’t see how they’ll prevent it from being abused with targeted misinformation, short of manually reviewing and approving every new article and every edit.
That is how wikis work.
Absolutely agree with that. He does have a lot of experience dealing with right to repair and all that so here’s hoping he knows how to handle it correctly.
Like a dedicated ’Controversy’ section on Wikipedia but for the modern consumer/end user protection. This gonna’ be good.
Spread the word if you can. The more eyes this can reach, the better it will be for everyone.
Great idea and a great person to take it up
I think they call this the Better Business Bureau. But I definitely would not put all stock in BBB as a single source for this information.
In theory, but in practice the BBB is usually a pay-to-play sort of racket where as long as a member doesn’t have active litigation happening, you can likely swing an A+ rating and still be a terrible company. It’s business oriented, not consumer.
I have no idea really. I just wanted to get the word out. The more people that know about this and help, the better it will become.
