In an ideal world, yes. But we already have 500 journalistic articles about Character ai. Probably countless social media posts. And it's literally on their Wikipedia article. The likely outcome is nothing, the journalists won't even bother writing yet another acticle about the same thing. And at best we'll end up with the 501st article. All the while the content is still up unless someone listens to me and also reports it. What OP seems to have done. (I'm making up the numbers, but it's really a lot of different articles.)

I think what we need to do is sue them. And people already did, and they were forced to implement moderation. I think we now need to follow up on that, report content and make them follow up on it. I think that's a necessary step before the next article can be written or the next lawsuit starts. It's far from perfect. But it is how it is.

Of course, continue to spread awareness and write about it. Just be aware this likely has next to no impact on the world at this point in time. But yeah, it's difficult to do the right thing here. Your guess is as good as mine.
