I have just read the article and the title is spot on. It's a digital law hidden...

I believe crypto industry lobbyists got concessions on this earlier today, but I could be wrong.

I wish there was a way to restrict these massive catch all bills that include everything in one package so that it's impossible to debate on a case by case basis.

The "concessions" are the wording included in the OP. It used to be even worse.

I read the article and was referring to the use of words in the body like "surveillance" for a one time collection of required KYC information.

It has more "thrilling" words as well.

But generally, over the years the EFF has lost my support and is viewed as yet another fringe voice with eccentric overtones.

It's not a "digital law", because I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

It's not "hidden". It's part of a law. Same font size as the rest. Everyone newspaper is writing about it.

The law isn't about "highways". It's about infrastructure. And these provisions, specifically, are one of the attempts to raise the funds financing the investments specified in that law.
