If you’re not an EU citizen, not much. But if you are a cybersecurity expert, researcher or represent an NGO, you can sign the open letter at https://eidas-open-letter.org.
Yes, you’re right, we can’t do a lot. But we can write to the member of the European Parliament who is responsible (Romana Jerković), and we can vote in our national elections and the European one coming up next year, so that’s something.
We both know the way the EU voting process takes place essentially makes it so we (the people) don’t have much of a real impact on the policy or on what happens over there. They kinda created this abstract super govt that is a lot of things but not democratic. I guess this is the price we pay when trying to bungle together a bunch of corrupt democracies. :P
At the same time, the power of the EU is, however indirectly, based on the votes of the people, and if enough people disagree they might just change their minds a little. I guess the best thing you could do, therefore, is to spread the word.

Not even “regular” EU citizens can to much about it it seems.
