Conversely, overregulation—as seen in the European Union—can stifle innovation, creating a lag that could have serious repercussions in the long run. The balance between regulation and freedom is delicate; overtight controls may slow progress, but too little oversight could lead to reckless development with harmful unintended consequences.
