"Freedom is a verb", "citizenship", whichever of the many versions of the objection to that idea are all available.

We elected officials to administrate it only, these ideals are done by everyone.

That's mob rule / vigilantism.

Justice is a much larger category of things than "using violence to control anti-social behaviour" as in policing/criminal law/etc.
They don’t.
The solution to that problem is a new government.

Not to give Google corporate Sovereignty to replace it.
