I dunno, this makes for an interesting article, and clicks for Buzzfeed, but the reality is that unless the money is gotten out of politics at a large scale, money and lobbyists will continue to largely direct what happens in Washington. This is the same for the tech industry as any other large sectors of the economy. Additionally, with the current administration, they are looking to deregulate much more so than go the other direction.
The only thing that could get the wind blowing the other way would be some kind of large scale scandal at Google/Facebook etc. that would make big headlines. But probably Congress would make some noise and nothing substantial in terms of policy or law would come of it.
