Hmm, if you directly translated FINRA to internet companies, new startups would have to be licensed with the internet SRO (self-regulatory organization) before they could offer services to the public.

That's an interesting idea, is it actually what you are suggesting?

I don't have a concrete proposal. I was just trying to illustrate that there may be a model inbetween total and zero regulation.

The line of demarcation could be storing personally identifying information, interfacing with advertising networks, or maybe even ownership of certain patent/intellectual property rights.
