Now you’re moving the goalposts. You’re saying left-wing hackers need to go after something other than torrents but you haven’t even show that happens yet. You don’t understand your linked story if you think that applies.

I think stats-wise, less than 10% of those convicted under the CFAA are right-wing. I don’t consider state actors to fall under the category of “hackers;” that’s probably a personal bias. I would want you to categorize those states as left or right and then provide stats since that’s your thing and you brought them in. You’ll also need to define where hacks for clout or cash land, since that’s a huge percentage of CFAA convictions.

Which goalposts am i moving?

I think stats-wise, less than 10% of those convicted under the CFAA are right-wing.

Again, no proof. Just a claim. I can think anything I like. Also that stat could also just prove that non right-wing hackers get caught more often or are worse at opsec.

So the NSA doesn't have "hackers"? What are they then?
