NOYB: EU privacy rights NGO fundraiser

[schneefink]

I'm really uncomfortable with the idea, or rather the unfortunate fact, of data about me and whatever I do on the internet etc. being collected and stored and used, especially without my knowledge. So I was glad to hear that there's an attempt to create a European digital rights NGO based in Vienna, noyb (none of your business), to enforce privacy rights in the EU. The set-up/plans look very professional, with experienced people and a well thought out concept. They've set themselves a deadline of January 31st to crowdfund the necessary seed money, and so far they have € ~210k of €250k. I really hope they get the money to start the organization.
Check it out here, and please consider supporting it and spreading the word.

Seems fitting. The EU has pretty stringent privacy right compared to some other jurisdictions.

Thankfully! (That we have them, not that others don't.)
