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?

The short answer is – they don’t. Lots of bills are super long, filled with unrelated items, and voted on without fully understanding what’s in them.
Add in technically complex items like cybersecurity – and the chances they actually understand are very low. Just watch some of the testimony of folks like sundar pichai and it will be apparent they’re clueless
It’s a key reason why many are frustrated with the demographic of congress skewing older – a lot of them don’t understand technology in a way to effectively regulate it
