I honesty think the only way to deal with organisations like this is to publicly post their names and addresses and encourage the general public to follow them around in real life, everywhere they go. Crowds of people following them round the supermarket watching what they put in their basket might finally make them realise what they're doing.

Given the turmoil that the "Elon Jet Tracker" created it seems like tracking still pisses these people off despite their wealth and gated communities/etc.

Time for trackers for pro-tracking execs, politicians and incompetent regulators (such as the previous head of UK's privacy regulator who did zero substantial enforcement during 4 years of blatant GDPR breaches, or whoever is heading the corrupt Irish DPA who's in cahoots with Facebook)?

"Subscribe for auto-delivery and save 15%"


An analogue of this might make a very interesting California ballot measure:

All bills which gather or correlate data must be applied such that their provisions first be applied to legislators.

Or something like that
