I've noticed that regulatory capture by lobbies generally happens as a long-term process. Public opinion quickly gets tired/bored of a specific issue, while lobbyists never stop pushing. On the other hand, a politician that makes one of his/her main goals to shut down (or block if not in US) the GAFAMs (or any other giant company), might be actually able to make a real and long-lasting change. (Or the other way, to change a few of the most important laws that describe how ALL companies can function – also could be a main policy point.)
