I'm not sure it is that, or if there is a way to communicate with some of the governments implementing these laws.
Take Australia, recently. The government came out in favour of weakening encryption, after consultation with security and privacy experts, as well as some economics experts and the like.
The thing was though, the usual man who advised them, and has in past similar investigations before creating laws to do with technology, advised them that it was a terrible idea.
He was then dismissed, and a series of other experts were called in, until the government were able to get an expert who saw things their way.
If the decision has already been made, how is anybody supposed to influence it?
