>I was thinking about getting in to the car market but all these pesky requirements that I sell a car with airbags and seatbelts and fuel efficiency compliance are just there to protect existing incumbents.
I think by going to cars to prove your point proves how ridiculous regulation for websites are. For some reason there exists a group of people that believe that websites like facebook need regulations that are as strict as those required for developing cars.
People die from cars that are badly designed. People don't die from facebook (yes I'm sure you can find some contrived example.)
Unrelated but something that further adds to the irony of using cars as an example is that companies such as VW haven't even been fined for cheating on their emissions test.
I doubt a country like Germany would ever consider allowing the EU to fine 4% of Vws global revenue even though they broke the law in a way that has resulted in people's deaths.
