Why complex? Because material has to motivate politicians to take action, otherwise they will ignore it, because they have tons of other important things to do (and those things are which people & journalists most talk about day to day)
What exact action politician would take? They would talk to their colleagues and convince its important, so official position of government could change. They need to understand the issue to explain others. Which is complex again.
For example - its difficult for us (who care about privacy the most) to understand this or take action, so likewise its not simple for politicians to understand this issue and take action too, or explain others is another level of difficulty.
