A hallmark of cyberpunk is that the malevolent forces of society are coming up with sneaky ways to sell their messages and image. There aren't any openly bad guys to the society itself, because all of the violence that's necessary to recreate it happens hidden from public view. A hacker digging for proof of criminality in a corporate database has his brain fried by security programs, but does the rest of society know about it? Would they even blame the corporation for defending its data? The thrill of cyberpunk comes from being able to uncover the truth of the world as it is.

I guess ultimately the only reason we live in the shittiest cyberpunk dystopia is because we haven't created the cyberpunk dystopia we want

It's the machine learning program the NSA uses to decide which Pakistanis get to die by Hellfire missile through metadata analysis, that for example managed to identify the Al-Jazeera Bureau Chief in Islamabad as the most probable member of both Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.
