That makes me wonder what would happen if changes needed to be made in most of the laws pertaining to matters domain and websites. Do the lobbyists always come through?
When there's money to be made? Of course. Same with special interest groups, think tanks, PACs, and the like. Some non-profits might be in it support the greater good like net neutrality - Electronic Frontier Foundation
https://www.eff.org/ But really, most are doing it because they're afraid ATT, Comcast, et al, will charge outrageous fees that only the wealthiest companies can pay. Of course, those fees will ultimately fall on the customers. And no matter what, the chairman who doesn't believe in net neutrality and actively lobbied against it for years, actually gets to make the decision.
I would love to see citizens have more influence! It might be possible for the average citizen to draft laws and get them passed by their local school board, maybe even city government. Theoretically, you could draft a law, have every single person you know contact your senator or representative about it, which might convince the congressperson to sponsor the law. That law would then need to get through whatever committee it falls under, then get it voted in by both chambers and signed by the president. Of course, by that point, your law probably won't resemble what you actually hope to accomplish very much. Negotiations take place, riders will be tacked on, big money will exert as much influence as possible. But even if the law survives against all odds, well as soon as the parties switch majority your law might be voted out all together, or not enforced, or it could fall apart once challenged by the courts. Don't forget that congress is largely made up of lawyers, business people, and professors. I wouldn't pit a lay citizen against that.
But, what domain/website protections do you believe the United States is lacking at the moment? The only possible unsolved tech issues that I can remember involve criminal law like cyber stalking, bullying, hate crimes, suicide pacts, gambling, prostitution and such. Then again, a judge recently found Michelle Carter guilty for encouraging her boyfriend to kill himself over text message. The judge used old laws that were already on the books for a guilty verdict of involuntary manslaughter. There's got to be something I'm missing. Clue me in please.
