Sure, but there is no industry that effectively self-regulates. Even the Catholic Church (famously).
If we should fight for anything, it's not to reflexively attack attempts at regulation. It should be to demand a more effective democratic process.
Better to break/weaken the government-corporate dependency than leave it alone and expect it to behave

@TCatInReality until we reach that Democratic ideal, we need to recognise which "regulations" are beneficial and which one aren't. Tracking the online and irl activities of every citizen via digital ID and Flock, "predictive policing" and censoring LGBTQ or political info = bad regulation. OSHA, FAA, banning CSAM etc = good regulation. Fighting the bad ones isn't "reflexive attacking."
