I'd say to help they could put some effort into enforcing the existing abuses spam and cyber fraud, but that would sadly be ineffective. Asshats won't enforce anything but the most blatant TOS violations.

A car company cannot admit they have a problem because 10,000 lawyers immediately spring up on their doorstep with their hands out.
If a car company tries to subtly fix a problem they are accused of a cover up.
