The "politicians" being referenced are the ones on the European Commission that worked on and announced this law. It took a mass public outcry to get the EC to delay the law long enough for the regulatory body (BEREC) to issue this report. The report doesn't "shut down" efforts to pass this law, but hopefully will make it harder for the EC to push through. Complaints about the politicians who put this forward in the first place seem entirely warranted.
