I am usually not averse against regulation but one advantage of tech is that it's still the Wild West where it's possible to innovate quickly and change things. Lawyers and doctors are in much more controlled environment where not much innovation is happening. I am also not sure how to determine what's ethical or not.

I much prefer laws like GDPR where there is a set of rules everyone has to follow.

Medicine is innovating a lot more than some ride-sharing, restaurant rating, social-local photo sharing app startup.
No. I work in medical and progress is much slower. In a lot of tech you can try something and get immediate feedback. In medical you have to wait for years and spend a ton of money.
