I agree you are on the right path here. You have three options from my point of view (this is not legal advice):

1. Get lawyers involved

2. Get social media and shame involved, which will probably make them take action. You seem to be doing 2 by being in the front page of HN, take it to twitter as well. This is ridiculous but it's "easy and cheap" way of doing it.

3. Nullify your account by setting up fake data and making them update it (automatically?). This is why you sometimes want throwaway services or http://mailinator.com/ , for companies who abuse people's data as seems to be the case.

Waiting for others to comment here, as it's a really interesting topic and I want to see other options as well

Thanks franciscop and thank you for your advice! It's definitely an interesting topic as it touches upon a few ethics.

I'm considered #1 but the thing is it might take time. The person stated that the PR will be reviewed in the New Year, so by the time I involve lawyers the matter might have already been resolved.

So, at the moment I've taken the matter to social media to bring up the matter of ethics in this case.

Thanks again!
