Forget the future, some people seem to be making that mistake with an opposing government right now. How many people do you see on the 'left' of the political spectrum wanting the government to regulate 'fake news' or 'social media' or 'the internet' while forgetting that it's Donald Trump and co in power right now? You already see full well how much the government disagrees with its critics on what's considered fake news or not. Don't they realise it'd probably be pro Breitbart/pro Infowars regulation there, with the main targets being those outlets they support? Same goes for this social media regulation stuff. You won't get a crackdown on 'Russian propaganda', since the elected government over in the US does't believe it is an issue at all. Government agencies don't stay very independent either, and even if they do, you have no guarantee they'll do what you think is right at all. See net neutrality and Ajit Pai. So yeah, their party won't always be in control and in a lot of cases, their party isn't in control right now anyway.
