How do federal laws regarding the internet related to complex concepts like cybersecurity get passed? How do lawmakers with little working knowledge of the web get the time to discern all the details in all the bills for those laws?

Lawmakers don’t write laws. That’s a common misconception. They just vote on them.
Their staffers or lobbyists do. They give a point list of things they want in the new law to their stuff and they write the law. Or they get already written one from lobbyists.
It’s a common knowledge that most of them don’t even read the laws before the vote. And those who actually read them can and do ask experts in the field about it if they feel like it.
