You don’t want to teach him a lesson by giving him a miserable experience.

You want to teach him a lesson that will let you say “I told you so” for the rest of his life.

There’s not a good way to find out, no. A lot of the data is “anonymous” when collected, and aggregated before it’s sold. But it’s not hard to de-anonymize the data afterward.
