My Professor Publicly published everyone’s grades on Canvas.

I’m graduating college next week, and i have a really really strong GPA (Magna cum laude), and this semester i got all As and one class that didnt post any grades. which is fine, but yk you’re just worried about it because like is it ok is it not?
yesterday the no grades class posted 3-4 announcements showing off each students grade. it was a screenshot of an excel spreadsheet with the name and the point categories on a scale from 0-4. and each announcement had a different category like class participation, group project, individual essay, and finally the ranking of how many ppl got As, Bs, generally class distribution stuff. Now ok back in the day you can publicly post students grades.. just not with their names attached, like professors used student id numbers last 4 of social security. like he had everyone’s full government name on display and what they got for everything. I know this goes against FERPA and is super illegal.
not to mention every week he would put all our discussion posts into ai and have it spit out who did the best and what sections were good. and like ew why r u using AI to grade us? and also he has these lectures we were supposed to attend but it was an asynch class so no live lectures, and he was like oh they’re optional. but i see bc i didn’t attend (i had another class at that time) it was taken against me and many other students.
I emailed my advisor basically this, just less rambly. and said hey what do i do? help pls. and he’s like oh email the professor? so he can take down the illegal shit he did? like no? i want to get him in trouble!! and essentially they were like it’s the end of the semester nothing can be done why didn’t you let us know sooner.. and i’m like he posted this today? i would’ve let you known sooner but he posted all our grades publicly today?
what should i do? i didn’t do too well in the class, and im nervous about drawing this out and i genuinely am so done and burnt out with college i kinda dont want to even bother. but i also i feel super embarrassed or like publicly shamed for having my stuff on display.
