Not quite.
Regulations are the language or guard rails between government (the people) and companies. Deregulation is elimination of regulations.
Eliminating regulations mostly just helps companies make more profit at the expense of costly things like safety, quality, etc.
A better exercise is to streamline regulations and ensure that their intended protections are upheld while eliminating inefficiencies and unnecessary wasted time and money.
When you eliminate regulations you end up with companies who do things like
put lead in your protein powder or
lead in your baby's fruit puree pouches.
Regulations are good.
