That’s kind of the problem though. “Getting serious” apparently means punting the problem to a standards body that can’t write or enforce law.

protip: always ask "or else what"

because a lot of laws do not have consequences codified, or they do but have delegated to an authority that cannot levy any consequence, like the Department of Commerce or in this cast the NIST

sometimes this is intentional, not by any specific lawmaker, but relying on their and everyone else's inattentiveness.
