Was mainly commenting that we don't how THE MAN will react. New Congress soon, new President soon enough...all could quickly change and new legislation could kill/amplify any business going after this "problem". Maybe it's systemic and ripe for disruption. Maybe Bernie Sanders will have a smackdown this week and the privacy issue is moot. We don't know what lawmakers might do = regulatory risk.

Was just suggesting investors might use that lens...if that's the route a startup takes.

Elections never truly change anything though.

Companies with hundreds of billions in cash in the bank do change things.
