I am following you until your last sentence. How does having less regulation help here?

• wanderingmind 5y ago
  There is a term called regulatory capture where large corporations lobby governments to write regulations that stifle competition. When hundreds of millions or billions ride on such regulations that is created by a few individuals, they have enormous power that is susceptible to corruption. And its very difficult to remove this corruption. The long term stable approach is to have as few regulations as possible that removes such absolute power from a few unelected individuals. An example of thriving with few regulations is the tech industry. It was able to boom and dominate because it had few regulations.

    While I certainly agree that tech has been able to 'dominate,' your use as an example of a 'stable approach' with 'as few regulations as possible' that 'removes such absolute power from a few unelected individuals' feels ironic, considering the... absolute power that unelected individuals like Zuck have. Alas, I don't think it's likely any legislative body will pass meaningful tech regulation anytime soon.
