I have mixed feelings about this given that the organisation's only explicit stance is being in defense of free speech, the freedom of the press and opposition to censorship. This tells me nothing about who's behind this, who's involved and what their motives or views are, which, sadly, is often more important than what an organisation claims to be about. The name is also effectively ungoogleable, leaving the thin info on their own website as the only source of information. The author of that post is a former member of the German Pirate Party who left for unclear reasons and ran as an independent on his own penny with no clear message beyond being a protest vote for people who don't want to protest vote for the far right.
On the other hand Germany does use flimsy excuses to crack down on services like Tor and that's bad.
