You should all go file a complaint with a data protection agency.

The thread in the linked social network suggests concentrating the complaints to the Irish DPC: https://forms.dataprotection.ie/contact

It seems like it worked, the same guy published an update asking people to stop filing the same complaint again and again. The agency is looking into it.

Thanks for highlighting this, I might have missed it otherwise.

I didn't know either, but I figured any option is better, the filings are read by humans after all. Still, as another poster pointed out, the agency is already investigating.
