> We know from Nigerian email scams that these things can stretch out days, weeks, months, all to get the victim to do the thing.

but it seems govts arent interested or incapable of solving the causes (education, opportunity, destitution, etc etc) and probably also influx of scams from sanctioned countries (again a society/world level problem) that cant participate in the world trade etc...

so they lean on the technology companies to lockdown things more because what else can they do?
