The problem with privacy in our age is that it's a collective harm issue (like public health, or environmental protection) so there really isn't much individuals can do, other than petition for regulatory change.
There are lots and lots of people working in this space worth following. One person in particular working on the California privacy law is Ashkan Soltani, and his twitter account (@ashk4n) is worth a follow. And I think no one thinks more deeply or incisively about these issues than Zeynep Tufekci. If you haven't read her book (Twitter and Tear Gas) it's fantastic.
I know it seems otherwise because of my fundraising work last year, but I really don't have strong connections to D.C. or any inside knowledge on what is on the regulatory agenda. Everyone I know in this space is kind of just winging it.
