Why this matters: Until now, if an AI tool leaked your personal information or generated something dangerous, your main option was to complain into a feedback box no one reads. A public reporting channel changes that dynamic. It creates a paper trail. It lets researchers and regulators see patterns across many users, not just isolated complaints. The real test is whether anyone with power to act actually pays attention to what gets reported. A website is only useful if it leads somewhere.
