Normally when politicians propose something awful, you simply don't vote for them next time. Unfortunately this does not apply in the EU. If EC is fixated on something, there is no way to stop it. If you recall the massive protests about ACTA and then few years later they got it (slightly changed) through anyway - just wait when the time for implementing content filters and link tax is up. So if they want mass surveillance, they'll have it regardless of any petitions. It sounds harsh, but that it the reality.
