I think we need a "FOSS Meme Project" to take care of this issue.

We need that regardless of this specific issue.

If this law passes I can see many people in the EU posting memes about it as protest.

The immediate not-so-subtle middle finger graphic reminds you of this media site's opinion while reporting the news.

I'm counting digits here and I'm not seeing a middle finger extended.

I see where you're going here, but I think you're reading too much into it. Memes are very often used on phones, so the person is holding a phone in a normal manner... and since this takes place in the EU, there's an EU flag. I think this is pretty innocent, personally.
