Well, if you don't live in the EU, it doesn't directly matter, other than in your ability to communicate with people in the EU.

If you live in the EU, then I suspect that talking to European political entities like the various Pirate parties, or to EDRi to try and get it legislatively-reverted is probably a step to take a little before killing and dying.

If you live in the EU and it doesn't get legislatively-reverted and you consider it to be totally unacceptable, well, there are a number of countries in the area that I imagine people can migrate to, like the UK or Switzerland or Norway. I'd probably look into that before the whole killing thing.
