Name and shame. Also, just because we're catching one and not catching all of them, doesn't mean that we can't go after this one. Hopefully, the people you're talking about will go after their employers too.

It's a small enough community that I'd prefer to not out myself.

My only point was that they're probably all doing it. Not that any or all of them shouldn't face consequences.

Also like one of the other comments said, AI for this seems stupid.
