There's always regulation. The choice is between self-serving regulation by a few lucky assholes or regulation by society for the society.

If you let the tobacco industry self-regulate, smoking ads would still be legal, and there would be no ban on selling cigarettes to kids.

This is the situation in IT.

And certainly, upstarts and social challenges to incumbent tobacconists would be met with regulations.
