<i>We need both.</i><p>Anyone who thinks we don't need regulation because open-source can save us all hasn't been paying attention the past few decades. The convenience tech companies offer can't be ignored, because it's exactly why users don't opt for open-source solutions that are (arguably, at least) far superior. It is not reasonable to expect casual users to be able to - or even want to! - debug their software, or jump through hoops to get it installed, keep it updated, etc.
