That's not what the article you linked says. To the question though there really haven't been many federal laws regarding tech at all. It's kind of hard to find an example of anything that directly focuses on tech and has been around long enough to make a judgement whether it was good or bad.

There have been plenty of laws. The two most famous ones are the DMCA and COPPA.

And then there are the ones that were only stopped because of massive protests like SOPA and PIPA.

Not to mention regulations that killed the concept of net Neutrality.

There are also constant mumblings about passing laws against encryption that the government can’t decrypt.

The Snowden leaks should scare anyone about giving the government more power.

It was in 1996, but there is also the CDA.
