I’ve noticed that a core challenge for privacy conscious individuals is figuring out which services are privacy friendly, which are okay, and which are thinly veiled spyware. I’m thinking of doing something to try and fix that for my next programming hobby project. A website where people can submit information on the privacy implications of different online services, including posting articles on past and present scandals, collectively interpret the privacy policy and translate from “Lawyer” to “Average Human”, and post information gathered from monitoring of applications and websites, among others. Like a Wikipedia for privacy concerns (maybe even base it off the Wiki content management platform).

Do any of you think this is would be a good idea? Any suggestions for functionality or design? Does something like this already exist?
