Why doesn't the government protect people from cybercrime? You can openly threaten, harass, and slander people with no penalty. You can steal things from people - even from the institutions that are fundamental to democracy - with very little risk of punishment. It's the wild west; government has abandoned it's responsibility to protect its citizens and institutions, and for some reason very few people object; they accept it as the norm.
