I finally got a letter from my cousin in Hong Kong after 6 months of silence.

He said his group chat got shut down for sharing a news link about a local protest, something we'd talk about freely here. It made me realize how a ban over there can make you scared to even send a basic email here, you know? Has anyone else had a normal chat with someone abroad suddenly go quiet because of what they can't say?

Ever think they're scared to even read it?

What if they're scared of what they might LEARN from it?

Wait, @carr.jana might be onto something.
