I do like the idea behind Have I Been Pwned, and honestly if a government took it over that might be nice if we had some guarantees. It feels like something that ought to be a public service with super duper special oversight to avoid it being used by law enforcement(since sending any information is necessarily bad)

Ehhhh, which government? Why would you want to build 200+ separate services for this? Would the US government report to a french citizen? Would we have two separate services from France/US? I agree public services are great but let governments focus on more critical services.

Most people don't trust their government enough to run a service like this. For example, my government lets bridges collapse[0], and it can barely keep the roads paved. The fact that any government service works at all is nothing short of a miracle to me.
