The interesting thing in these funding debates is the logic that a source of funding would automatically compromise integrity. By that logic, all science is also compromised. That said, I haven't really understood why some NGOs are so spooked about the EU's planned transparency requirements, which should really apply to everyone. A lot of shady money and connections everywhere, as the Qatargate all too well demonstrates. At the same time, Big Tech is lobbying probably through a dozen of different associations, some of which are posing as NGOs, etc. etc. https://www.politico.eu/?s=qatargate https://www.politico.eu/?s=qatargate
