The findings of the paper suggest that the political power of platforms may have been overstated. Future research should pay closer attention to the interaction between platforms' (infra)structural power and their lobbying strategies. You can find the full paper here:

... moreover, the characteristics of competing interest groups matter: The French SME-dominated creative sector was much more successful in credibly criticizing the exploitative practices of platforms and demanding fair remuneration than large German media corporations.

Focusing on the French and German debates, I find that...

... the techlash does indeed limit platform power: in France, the public image of Big Tech was much more critical than in Germany, providing a less fertile bonding surface for the frames pushed by the platforms.

Frame stickiness is thus a key scope condition for successful platform outside lobbying. Particularly, the public's preexisting beliefs and competition from other interest groups can pose high hurdles. To show this, I combine process-tracing and a quantitative analysis of Twitter and newspaper data.
