Or almost anything. For example, you cannot fight against spam that comes from a country where a lot of things illegal in your country ... are legal there. On the other hand, there are a lot more important issues to be solved by a government. There are a lot of thieves, criminals, etc. on the streets, right? There are wars or fights right now on this Earth ... and many other major problems. It's not so easy to solve the spam problem unless certain rights are restricted. I don't know about you but I don't want any of my rights to be restricted in order to be solved a certain problem that is mainly caused by online criminals helped by dumb people ... I don't want my rights to be restricted in order to defend some people like John from my story. Such people cannot be defended. They walk free on the streets, right? On the streets there are a lot more dangerous things that can happen in comparison with the Internet. Well, that's it and thank you for your comment :-) Well, Tim, a government cannot do anything in this respect. Or almost anything.

Well, that’s it and thank you for your comment :-)
