Sorry - good point. When government refers to oversight, it implies protection of people - users of a service, customers, etc. But oversight often devolves into control unrelated to actual safety or protection but rather into fines, penalties, costs of legal compliance, and potentially the favoring of one company or group of people over another in what could more fairly and efficiently be done without government oversight. So, who determines the wisdom, skill, or integrity of the overseers (or the watchers). Who will watch the watchers (overseers) to prevent their abuse of power?
