The US’s latest attempt to chill speech online, KOSA-a bill to effectively force everyone to identify themselves to online platforms-is picking up steam and looking like it will pass the Senate.

    Story time: something like 30 years ago, someone sent me an email asking a technical question about a thing I posted online. We exchanged a couple educated emails, and they thanked me for the explanation. Then it hit me: …who TF has email on Cuba …whom was I talking to?

    Nowadays they have Internet access for tourists, but 30 years ago… yeah, that.
