ways to reduce threats and vulnerabilities
Accountability vs protection --- @Guillaume. If you agree that some level of accountability is necessary, then you agree that there must be a way to effect that accountability though as you suggested, it may be difficult - but difficulty does not equate impossibility. No one ever thought say 10 years ago that persons could ever be prosecuted for say cyber-bullying but that's possible now; if prosecution is not possible then the many legal liability clauses attached to online services can be construed as a joke; Therefore it simply takes the required effort and yes education and focused awareness or even appealing to basic human decency and justice to get this accomplished; With respect to state-sponsored activities, here again is the role of international law, bilateral or multi-lateral agreements and sanctions assuming of course, that States consent whether via the UN or otherwise. I nothing is done or we simply allow anarchy to spread then we are all doomed.
