GDPR enforcement is big business for the government, but no money goes to the poor associations, like LQDN or NYOB.

Quite the contrary, those associations have to survive on 'donations', and probably not very high salaries for their staff.

CNIL is not an association. It is part of the french state.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. People from such non-profits were key to european institutions developing a proper understanding of the problem space, which directly led to GDPR legislation.

If you're rich enough, be sure to donate some money to LQDN/EFF and others to protect human rights in the digital realm.
