Please no, computing in general has flourished because we have navigated well clear of any massive regulation. Regulation will only serve to protect established players and create a large barrier to entry. Innovation will suffer and everything will slow down. We already have regulations on critical technology like missile systems, life support systems and avionics. We do not need regulation on general purpose computing devices.
