That's a slippery slope argument. I know regulating tech is not going to be popular here, and maybe we leave it for corporations that are valued at over a certain amount, but right now foreign governments are hacking our financial services companies, communications companies, phones, laptops, everything. 95% of the time a it's an extremely easy hack that would have been discovered by a routine scan.

There's an important distinction between "regulating" as in setting prices, and "regulating" as in setting the rules of the competitive marketplace.

For example: You can't sell phones that explode. You can sell phones that are cheaper than the competition.
