Is regulation stopping innovation? Can it, should it do so?
Here is the "Classic Collingridge Dilemma" (1980):

• During the initial stages, when control would be possible, not enough is known about the technology’s harmful social consequences to warrant slowing its development.
• By the time those consequences are apparent, however, control has become costly and slow.
