Exactly. You don't want regulations merely for regulations' sake. Regulations need to be governed by a simple, transparent set of values, and enforce only those, but enforce them well and consistently, and keep the regulator accountable for how those values and regulations are enforced.

Blindly trusting regulators to know what's best is just as bad as blindly trusting corporations to know what's best.
