> I don't think we even can vote them out of office.
Of course you can. The European Parliament has the last say on EU laws. There's an upcoming EP election in only a few months. The head of the largest faction (essentially either EPP or ESP) will become head of the commission.
There's few times as good as now to contact your local MEP and voice your concerns about article 13.
Yeah, and then we have to put pressure on MEPs again and again every time the bastards who can't be voted out of office try to push some new variant through, and the moment our attention slips and we let even one through they win. Permanently, since there's absolutely nothing MEPs can do to reverse this once it passes, unlike in an actual democracy.
I'm appalled to see a GroenLinks politician listed red. He's definitely going to get an email from me. The others too, but I really expect better from GL.
(The other GroenLinks politician is green, so it's likely that the red one simply missed the vote. Still bad of course, but not evil. He needs to show up next time.)
