    I read the article, but can’t figure out what NGO, NOYB, or GDPR mean. Can someone help me?

      NGO: Non-governmental organization

      GDPR: General Data Protection Regulation. A set of European laws intended to empower individuals to control personal data held by companies.

      “noyb” is a European privacy rights organization, who appears to prefer to style their name with lowercase letters. The name is an acronym for “none of your business”.

        💀 noyb is the name of an organization and GDPR is a law. NGO is the only thing you could even remotely begin to describe as unnecessary jargon but that’s still a stretch.
