When all of these tech people decry regulation but praise capitalism, I'd like to remind them that one of the central tenets of capitalism is that competition is good, and that it is subject to the same Darwinian laws as they would suppose to be believers in, science-oriented as they are. Regulations not only protect the interests of consumers, they provide a filter through which only the fittest, most well-run technology companies with the best solutions to our problem may emerge.
