'''Our goal is to bring clarity to these new practices that companies intentionally make opaque and to provide consumers with the information they need to recognize and fight back against new forms of exploitation.'''

Beyond this, we aim for the information collated here to become a vital aid to those lobbying for improved consumer protections. When a corporate lobbyist tries to dismiss the need for such protections, we will provide activists with the resource they need to demonstrate that consumers are facing real issues on a large scale, and that there is absolutely a legal need to prevent further consumer restrictions and abuse.

It is expected that the Wiki will be contributed to by a wide variety of people, both technical and non-technical, who share a desire to see consumers be treated more fairly. It will enable this by being quick and easy to contribute to, with a low barrier to entry for contributors. This barrier to entry should be maintained at the minimum level necessary to combat spam and bad actors~~. Wiki editors will volunteer their time to improve the quality and scope of articles <u>''without''</u> expecting direct compensation or financial benefits~~.

The base focus of the Wiki is expected to be on issues frequently discussed on Louis Rossmann’s channel, and those adjacent to the right-to-repair movement, though this may grow to a more all-encompassing definition of consumer protection over time. The minimum desired goal is to have a site that records, in a helpful and searchable format, the specific issues and topics that have been discussed on Louis’ channel over the years, with factual citations.
