I would hope that someone reaching out to press from ModCoord would pass these concerns on to journalists. A persistent journalist can uncover the extent of compliance to the GDPR and CCPA through proper questions. "Have you seen an increase in GDPR/CCPA requests wince the controversy started? What percent of those have you completed? What about reports that users are unable to delete their data?" etc. (only better because I'm not a journalist and probably oversimplifying).
