Not wishing to seem defeatist, but is there much (any?) evidence that sending copy-pasted arguments to elected representatives actually achieves anything?

Probably little to no effect, but I'd hope it's slightly more effective than just tweeting a hashtag (which is arguable simpler than my "simplest" suggestion) because it will actually pierce the techie anti-privacy bubble and be heard by/bother the .

To be honest, I'd wager that most of the benefit in doing something as little as sending copy-pasted emails is that it increases the probability of the protester doing a more meaningful action in the future (by generating some cognitive dissonance, by reinforcing a positive internal narrative, by weakening the illusion of powerlessness, etc.).

It does because these are EU officials. They are four layers removed from contact with any EU citizens. Sometimes they do bump into one, while exiting some of the best Brussels restaurants after a lunch with a lobbyist.
