So what are our options (eg for EU citizens) for lobbying in terms of legislation or directly to Google to show disagreement with this?

It looks like many in this thread are against, but I don't see suggestions for action?

I like your take, we see too many easy-to-write outrage articles on here these days, and rarely do we see a discussion or concrete list of actions that can be taken. eg. send a physical letter to this address, or boycot this or that service for 24hrs on such a date etc.

Personally I de-googled last year, but those numbers never get counted by the bean-counters, so it is not much of a protest.

In this case I dont think much can be done via legislation, since the governments work less and less for-the-people. This is just the next logical step on the KYC road, but for developers, GitHub is heading the same way, along with EU chat controls, UK age controls, Digital Euro, and the rest.

The EU right-to-privacy may as well be torched, and freedoms that were hard won, will continue to be surrendered for an easier swipe of a gadget.
