Or just prohibit them. That's a change to the law you can actually see is being enforced.
The problem with changing the spying law is that the spying is happening in secret, so there is no way to verify that they're not lying to you as they have in the past. Laws with no accountability mechanism are a farce. They need to be backstopped by verifiable structural inhibitions on the practice, like diverse decentralized infrastructure subject to competitive pressure and plausible independent reimplementation by anyone who doesn't trust the incumbents.

This is required to turn back injustice. But it's more likely to be achieved the more people have the opportunity to do it.
