Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I guess a lot of HN voters are against the idea of regulation that would prevent a lot of startups from gaining traction ("why can't I sell my stuff at a loss to get new customers?"). In reality, regulation extending anti-dumping laws to startup-type products/services is a possible solution to this issue, it's just one that would be difficult to implement and enforce. Ex. where do you draw the line on dumping vs. acceptable marketing and how do you calculate it for something like SaaS that usually has really high margins?
