It literally doesn't work like that

Of course you're not at risk for millions of fines because that's not how the process works.

If the relevant agency gets off its ass and decides to actually work on the complaint (very highly unlikely, unfortunately), they will first contact you and ask you to remedy the situation within some time frame (usually quite generous).

If you don't do that, they contact you again and tell you you might be fined for not doing what you're asked.

The only way for you to risk millions is to repeatedly knowingly violate the regulation.
