But he said "regulations that stifle", not "regulations that are essential". It seems like people don't even read comments nowadays and just get triggered by keywords.
“this regulations that stifle” was in somewhat broken syntax, which led me to believe that it was saying something to the effect that (s)he was speaking of regulations in general and saying that they stifled innovation as a whole. Perhaps your mental parse didn’t have that connotation, and I could have been wrong in seeing it that way.
So-called "public pressure" is often made up. It usually goes like this - a lobbying company pays journalists to run a story that X causes Y. Journalists look in their network for people willing to confirm X causes Y and that they are outraged. The story is then exaggerated and run numerous times so that people get an emotional connection with the actors and start to believe X causes Y. This is an opportunity for a politician to offer a "solution". In the end, a company gets favourable legislation, a politician gets points and media get clicks and views. But society loses.
No thanks. I wish bureaucrats have limited their ideas to their own lives. Fascism is creeping in from all sides in the EU, but people seem to live in denial.
