More regulation, or stronger regulation, as in less wiggle room for businesses, may be a good thing. Case in point: a regulation requiring to disclose the ingredients of food.

Too many regulations is almost always a bad thing: numerous pieces of regulation rarely fit together seamlessly. It becomes easier to miss some obscure piece, or to encounter a contradiction, or to find a loophole. The cost of compliance also grows, and that disproportionately favors big established players.

I think this is an excellent point. More is almost always worse, but if there is a genuine need for regulation it should be absolute.
