“Regulated industry” is something very specific and different from general commerce regulation.
Banks are regulated industry. If you want to start a bank you have to submit your business plan to regulators for approval, and then operate within very strict rules with criminal penalties for intentional deviation, and government inspectors who come by to make sure everything is by the book.
Twitch, a video game streaming service, being regulated in the way investment banks and nuclear power stations are regulated is a weird claim to make.

Telecommunications is generally a regulated industry in most countries, as is broadcast media

You are literally responding to an article that explicitly says Twitch was fined by the regulatory body in charge of telecommunications, not a "general commerce [regulator]"

Telecommunications (e.g. the FCC) is a general commerce regulator.
The FCC is uninvolved with this case.
