<div style="font-size:1.75em;line-height:2em"> Welcome to the Consumer Protection Wiki! </div>

~~Consult~~ the ~~[https://www~~.~~mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information~~ on ~~using~~ the ~~wiki software~~.

The mission of this Wiki is to document a new generation of consumer exploitation that bears no resemblance to issues of the 1950s-1990s. We focus on the issues that often go unnoticed by review sites, tech press, and traditional consumer protection publications.

<h3>Your #1 mission: Turn videos into wiki articles</h3>

<h4>Where to start — what we need from you</h4>

# Go to the [[Louis Rossmann - Video Directory|Video Directory]].

# Pick a video that interests you.

# [[Create_page/many|Create an article]] following our [[Moderator Guidelines|content guidelines]].

# Edit the [[Louis Rossmann - Video Directory|Video Directory]] with a link to your article.

We're building a wiki to document consumer protection issues; every time a company has taken part in the anti-ownership, anti-privacy, anti-consumer practices that Louis has discussed on his channel for the past decade.

Each video in our directory contains valuable information about consumer rights violations that needs to be transformed into wiki articles.

When you click on any video in the directory, you'll find:

*✓ A full video transcript

*✓ An AI-generated summary

Not ready to write? That's okay! You can still help by:

*🔍 Reviewing videos in the directory

*✅ Marking irrelevant videos for review

*➕ Adding missing relevant videos to the list
