European privacy and consumer support groups are mainly after lawyers' fees. They mostly make money by notifying misbehaving companies of their misbehaviour, collecting fees for the (usually unwanted, but enforcedly payable) notification ("Abmahnung" in German).

Dieselgate was started by such a group.

The system is not all bad, but incentives are against stuff like this being litigated by the usual privacy or consumer support groups, because you just can't collect fees from the legislative branch...
