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 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.
Great idea and a great person to take it up
Going to be a big list. Hope he's got enough storage space.
I'm honestly not too worried. At least he has a good idea of what he's doing.

That is how wikis work.
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.
