Sidestepping Legislation

Why isn't there any legislation out there that can spot obvious "plots" by these companies that allow them to continue shoveling their crap all over people's systems?

I remember the old "define spyware" argument. It had two goals: stalling further legislation while a "definition" was written, and then allowing them to customize their spyware around the "definition" so that they couldn't legally be classified as spyware any more, EVEN THOUGH THEY STILL WERE.

Why is it that nobody can SEE through this kind of thing? Why are kindergarten-level delay tactics that any parent would spot in under a second somehow beyond the comprehension of legislators? Everybody knows what this crap is and nobody wants it on their systems.
