27.02.2026 World NGO Day An introduction to noyb & a big “Thank you!”

How it all started Ever since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force in 2018, many companies have taken advantage of the fact that it is often too complicated, expensive and time-consuming for individual users to enforce their fundamental rights.

Luckily, the GDPR grants users the right to mandate NGOs like noyb to represent them before a data protection authority or in court. To date, we have filed more than 880 cases and are responsible for over €2 billion in administrative fines. We also make use of PR and media initiatives to draw attention to privacy issues and strengthen your rights even outside of court.

Thank you! We want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude. As an independent, non-profit organisation, we couldn’t do this without the support from people like yourself. If you want to learn more about noyb’s work and discover additional ways you can support us, click the link in our bio or visit noyb.eu!

🌍 On today's #WorldNGODay, we would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves once again and thank everyone who has made our work possible so far. #LetsMakePrivacyReality 🔒

Nettsiden til Nasjonalarkivet med teksten: «Få hjelp av kunstig intelligens» og et felt for å stille spørsmål.

Nasjonalarkivet har forkastet hele forsiden av nettsiden sin til fordel for et KI-tekstfelt?

Har dette kanskje gått litt for langt nå?

Dette er altså siden man kommer til om man ber om hjelp. Den inneholder to opplysninger om hva man IKKE får hjelp til, samt to brutte billedlenker. Og det er alt.
En frisørsalong i Nordkjosbotn ville skammet seg over å ha en like amatørmessig hjemmeside som vårt nasjonale arkivverk.

Dette er så hårreisende idiotisk at det er vanskelig å tro. Enda verre blir det faktisk om man følger lenken om tips og råd.

As for humans, Persona hopes to build identity profiles for each person using the hundreds of activities they do online over time, like ordering food or scrolling social media, so Persona can more quickly verify they’re human. Song said these profiles would be tamper resistant and reusable so that they can be submitted on any site during the verification process, which he thinks people will want to use despite the obvious privacy tradeoffs. “Today you're disclosing more and more about yourself. You're just giving up so much information,” Song said. “Our dream is this idea of a self-sovereign, personally-owned portable identity.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/rashishrivastava/2025/04/30/ai-is-making-the-internets-bot-problem-worse-this-2-billion-startup-is-on-the-front-lines/

This is who you are sending your data to when you use age verification with Discord or VRChat.

Because they aren’t using it for age, they legitimately want to track you everywhere, everyday and learn what you are doing.

Fall out of favor? They know everything to make your life hell.

A lot of media is intent on making people think these groups are backing down when theyre actually not, so people stop pushing back. Like news saying ICE has left a city when it hasnt. Its scummy

The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded"

Continue to cancel Nitro and migrate elsewhere

We cannot avoid the mass splintering of communities without endangering people via online ID or working with fucking palantir.

The best we can do is damage mitigation. The situation sucks but we gotta go elsewhere.

Robin Williams warned us about Donald Trump.

We didn’t listen.😒

The DOJ is monitoring what lawmakers search for in the Epstein files. Maybe they could put that same energy into monitoring, I don’t know… the people in the files.

Disabled US citizen dragged out of her car & arrested by ICE: "2 days ago I had to go to the doctor to get a nerve block to stop the constant shooting pain through neck & head. A month later, I still can't raise my arms normally.”

We ask DHS: Why was this necessary?

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

Pirates filed amendments to end ChatControl 1.0 mass scanning! 💪 #EU🇪🇺#ChatControl👁️#privacy

Ireland’s basic income for the arts scheme becomes permanent When piloted, initiative that provided €325 a week to eligible artists recouped more than its net cost, study shows

"The scheme recouped more than its net cost of €72m through increases in arts-related expenditure, productivity gains and reduced reliance on other welfare payments, according to a government-commissioned cost-benefit analysis."

Empower the arts ✊

"They lie about deleting photos": Discord rushes to walk back age verification after users abandon the platform Discord's age verification rules could involve face scans and ID uploads, causing massive backlash and calls to abandon the platform.

"Don't worry, most of you won't need to show us your face or ID because we're already spying on you" is not the reassurance we were looking for.

To quote: "According to Discord, its background AI inference model would estimate a user’s age in most cases." 🙃

#NoToDigitalID #NoToForcedAVLaws

It’s Sunday everyone. You know what that means. Get ready for Monday by

- Calling your lawmakers
- Spreading awareness of surveillance proposals
- Boycotting companies that enable age verification and RAM shortages (especially Discord Nitro)

#NotoKOSA #NotoDigitalID #AbolishKOSA #FuckKOSA

Min tillid til at Discord, som er blevet hacket og har også har fået en GDPR bøde, for ikke at slette data, kan overholde det her, er meget meget lille!
Jeg vil ikke anbefale nogen at bruge ægte informationer!

Also, for letters familiar of Europeans: GDPR.

Nuke from orbit with the GDPR.
