IDK if this particular issue relates to money-politics that much. There's always something, but in this case the primary "lobby" is probably law enforcement and intelligence.
Corporations like google are somewhere between neutral and pro-privacy, or rather, against sharing their data with law enforcement.
Where money-politics does play, it's probably apathy related. This isn't an issue that donors care much about, therefore legislators may not care much.
Agreed. I would attribute this to self-interest. No politician wants to be the guy who voted to "take tools away from the law enforcement", for fear they'll be attacked in the next election cycle for "aiding terrorists and human traffickers".
