    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”.
