Consumer-impact summary
Bitly has faced consumer backlash for practices on qr-code-generator.com, where QR codes marketed as "free" later stop working unless a subscription is purchased, resulting in wasted marketing materials and unexpected costs.
Incidents
Add one-paragraph summaries of incidents below in sub-sections, which link to each incident's main article while linking to the main article and including a short summary. It is acceptable to create an incident summary before the main page for an incident has been created. To link to the page use the "Hatnote" or "Main" templates.
If the company has numerous incidents then format them in a table (see Amazon for an example).
