This might sound extreme, but if every other option has been exhausted it could be worth filing a claim in small claims court.

That should get the attention of someone more senior in the company, and there's a chance they'll see reason and have the page removed instead of litigating.

If you do wind up going to court, it'll be a media circus and they'll get some bad PR regardless whether you win or lose. Who knows, you might even win if you can show damages.

The Reddit link is locked so I left this comment here instead.

What sort of damages could they prove?

The point is not to win the case. The point is to get the attention of someone in legal, who will take the request seriously.
