For any given regulatory measure X, no matter how basic common sense it sounds or how 'human rights'-like it is, there will always be someone that thinks that free market should trump X because in the long term the market actors will magically evolve by themselves towards their best interests and the optimum equilibrium so X is not needed. Come to think of it, even I am unsure about choosing between free market capitalism and having a bunch of old-age senators writing laws about something that they don't understand (considering that they're clueless about the feasibility of implementing what they legislate at the technical level).
