What regulations do you feel protected common folk from capitalism during the development of computing, and how have they weakened?

I was also struck by this. We are a far more regulated society today than in the 1960s. The total body of codified federal law, statutory plus regulatory, grew from roughly 78,000 pages in 1960 to roughly 246,000 pages by 2020. The content matters of course, but I’m skeptical that under-regulation is the problem.
More pages isn't necessarily the same as more regulated.
Antitrust enforcement.
