Big enterprises like regulation because it enables them to capture the market and slow startups down: that's why they invest so much in standardization, for instance.

It allows them to force startups to match their (slow) pace of development.



I'm fine with having regulations about food safety and privacy rather than to give some pretend advantage to the imaginary little capitalist.


I did not say all regulation is bad, just why big companies like it and push for it.
