    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.

      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.

    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.
