In addition, tech companies are successful because they enter into mostly unregulated markets (this is a truism of new markets in general, govts can't predict where new markets will pop up so they aren't regulated when they do). Regulation and experimentation are kind of inherently at odds. Unfortunately what we are learning about FB is that regulation probably should have happened when the CEO started referring to his company as a utility.
