They're not regulating anything. They just make the best datasets and those are the ones that get used

  Legal regulation, no, but in the sense of having groups of internal people approving the release of data, data cleanup processes, data input, etc etc etc... yes, it's 100% regulated. At least in the cybernetics sense.

    That's true of all organizations that release data. They're regulating their own data. They're not regulating the use of that data

      Since we're talking about this in a definitional context you can just as easily argue that a drug cartel doesn't regulate the use of their drugs..

        A cartel regulates a market. Drug cartels regulate the buying and selling of drugs. This "cartel" doesn't regulate any market
