She worked on positionings and protests and represented the alliance at hearings of the European Commission .

In addition, she worked for the Bielefeld-based civil rights association Digitalcourage since 2009 , where she mainly dealt with the electronic remuneration statement (ELENA) and decentralized social networks. In the years 2010–2011 she spoke publicly for the demonstration alliance “ Freedom instead of fear ” and gave a speech there in 2011 on the subject of data retention in Europe and Poland. In 2011 she supported the protest of the “ Working Group Census ” against the census. In 2012 she was a co-initiator of the alliance "Hamburg against ACTA ". The demonstration on February 11, 2012 in Hamburg, with 8,000 participants, was one of the largest demonstrations against the copyright agreement in Germany.

During her studies at the University of Münster, from 2009 to 2010, she represented the interests of the students towards the university as a consultant for data protection and free software at the AStA of the University of Münster. There she took part in initiatives against the electronic student ID and in the protests against tuition fees as part of the nationwide education strike. Together with the AStA of the Münster University of Applied Sciences and the working group on data storage, she was the editor of a reader on data protection and informational self-determination in the context of new anti-terror laws.

In December 2010, she took part in the last hearing of the EU Commission for the data retention working group before the re-evaluation of the data retention directive in Brussels. She later described this experience as shaping her entry into the Pirate Party; she publicly criticized the lack of integration of citizens' interests at EU and federal level.

Party politics

Nocun joined the Pirate Party Germany in March 2012.

On May 10, 2013, she was elected political director of the Pirate Party with 81.7 percent of the votes in the approval process . Before the party conference in November 2013, she announced that she would not run again for office.
