Much more entertaining: Get the list of advertisers. Find the ones who aren't allowed to share your data with Facebook, e.g. due to lack of consent or because they're bound by professional secrecy (e.g. banks or health related things). Report to your local DPA.

Data protection agency. Eg, Australia: https://www.oaic.gov.au/ UK: https://ico.org.uk/ EU: https://www.edps.europa.eu/_en , etc.

in this context, DPA usually means Data Processing Agreement.

I’m assuming GP meant DPO, for Data Protection Officer, the person responsible for enforcing GDPR (or similar laws) in a company.
