If you're a citizen of an EU country, you should contact your politicians to tell them not to, maybe they won't.

It only has to pass once, and they keep trying.

Contacting politicians directly is good, but joining orgs like the Electronic Frontier Foundation or Privacy International multiplies your impact since they have lawyers and can actualy challenge these laws in court.

Some keep trying. That's how democracy and politics works in general.

Many people in the US thought “He won’t”

So, call your representatives.

I agree that calling representatives can always be a good idea. But you cant compare the US and the EU.

There is no "he", there is no president. No single person can run nor ruin it.

It's simply not as fragile, but again, always let your voice be heard like you suggest. Just in case.

Yeah. "EU wants this, EU wants that" - bullshit, the EU has no will of its own. A set of politicians within the EU, on the other hand.

The EU also does not have a president like you know from countries. There is no supreme leader, and laws are made with every member state involved.
