> Section 4 says to prioritize prosecuting cyber crimes. Not sure why they wouldn't already be prosecuted.

Not a whole lot of federal prosecutors. They're very selective about what gets pursued or not.

If they can't reliably build cases with a >90% success rate, it doesn't get prioritized. There's like <500 (federal) convictions per year on this whole area.

We hear about a few big famous ones in the news here, but most of it goes completely unenforced.

And lately they seem to spend most of their time in courts trying to argue that immigrants don't deserve due process
