      Because complex solutions are almost impossible nowadays so individual ones matter. Also I’m an active hater of the popular in the West “crowd/nation over individual” mindset.

        This is a terrible take, but saying it doesn’t work in the comments of a news that says they work makes it even worse.

        I’d say both things go hand in hand.
        Individual change is definitely easier to achieve, but even getting a certain idea out to let the individuals protect themselves on their own is difficult, privacy isn’t really easy to sell because, beside a basic level, most people don’t care about it or assume it’s unattainable.
        So yes both are difficult in their own way, but the effect that policies have when they’re finally applied is more powerful and protects everyone by default, even without them knowing, e.g the GDPR
