That's great, was looking for something like this. Will look closer and hope they don't pivot to charging money from companies for not fighting them.

I hope so too. It's something that's been on my mind in general terms - it feels like all organizations (both for- and nonprofit) decay over time, eventually becoming corrupt. I'm not sure there's a cure for this. So we can either never support any organization, or support them while they're still pristine, stop when they go bad, and hope someone else will appear to carry the torch. Not supporting is the easy choice, but you can't build a civilization that way.
So I guess vigilance is the name of the game. I'm gonna support noyb until they go bad.

They are an Austrian no-profit with public reports: https://noyb.eu/en/annual-reports
As EU citizen, I am more than happy to support them through membership, and I urge any fellow citizen who is interested in privacy issues, to inform themselves over nyob, and support them!
