Combating bad regulation isn’t a solution, but a description of a property you’d want a solution to have.
Or more specifically, while you could perhaps lobby against particular destructive policies, this article is pushing for “helping [government actors] take good actions”, but given the track record of government actions, it would make far more sense to help them take no action. Pushing for political action without a plan to steer that action in a positive direction is much like pushing for AI capabilities without a plan for alignment… which we both agree is insanely dangerous.
The state is not aligned. That should be crystal clear from the medical and economic regulations that already exist. And bringing in a powerful Unfriendly agent into mankind’s efforts to create a Friendly one is more likely to backfire than to help.
