In general I strongly agree that regulations can be one of the slow drip/drips that crush a society over time. However there are two forms of complexity at war here; complexity for business (regulation) and complexity for ordinary people (having data about you everywhere, about everything, forever). So we have to decide which kind of complexity is worse, or how to strike the right balance.
