Facebook to change user terms, limiting effect of EU privacy law

I predict Max Schrems will continue his legal cases against Facebook. He has co-founded an NGO (NOYB) which has raised €330k in donations & membership fees to use the GDPR to protect privacy. https://noyb.eu/

Indeed. If you care about getting Facebook to fix its issues without deleting your account, then donating to NOYB is probably an effective way to do that.

Schrems has basically single-handedly proven that Safe Harbor, and I think the Privacy Shield, too (soon to be decided) have been violating the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the right to privacy under the European Convention of Human Rights.

What does noyb mean? I can't see it anywhere and it's really frustrating me.

"None Of Your Business"

I'm afraid that's none of your business, Mr Fastball.
