ls operation not permitted on ~/Library/Safari or ~/Library/Mail

Since upgrading to macOS Safari (10.14.1), each of the commands


ls ~/Library/Safari

ls ~/Library/Mail


— even if preceded by sudo— gives error


Operation not permitted


Is there some way to get around what I presume is a security measure added in Mojave?

iMac, macOS Mojave (10.14), 4.0GHz Corei7, 32GB, 3Tb Fusion

I know I can get around this by going into System Preferences > Security & Privacy and giving Full Disk Access to Terminal.


But is there some less "blunt" way to do it?
