It appears that the EU Commission has tried to influence public opinion in countries such as the Netherlands in order to undermine the position of the national government in the EU Council. Such behaviour – especially in combination with illegal micro-targeting – is a serious threat to the EU legislative process and completely contradicts the Commission’s intention to make political advertising more transparent.

This can and should not pass unobserved.

Okay, the funniest part about this is that even with all the bullshit Twitter/X does nowadays, those ads actually violated their terms, too.

That is hysterical.

Dear EU Commission: What the actual fuck.

Literally the first and only question I had going into it, and they bury the answer away halfway down their FAQ.

What does “noyb” stand for?

We use “noyb” as a brand name. The name was suggested by a twitter user, and is the abbreviation of “none of your business”

Doing the good work!
