Okay, I'm happy to rewrite that whichever way you like, but I believe businesses are just groups of people. If you wish, consider that 'prefer to minimize regulation binding units of people or groups of people acting in concert'. I'm also content with it just being 'prefer to minimize regulation binding businesses or people so long as no active harm yada yada'.

I would submit that mass surveillance is doing harm, see Cambridge Analytica and other recent scandals.

Those were non-consensual, so yes, I'm on board with not allowing them.
