If someone wants to make an argument "this needs to be regulated" then they need to assert that the benefits of doing so outweigh the drawbacks. The article does not really do that; it points out a class of potential harm, but it does not try to present an reasonable argument that regulation is likely to succeed in preventing that harm; and the balance of pros vs cons can't even be discussed without at least some general idea about what kind of regulation we're talking about.
