    Kind of, but written communication for everyone hasn't even always been a thing. And cryptic letters perhaps aren't reliable secrecy for ordinary people against trained spying. And anonymity… not without other layers to your communication. And all of that not for your ordinary postcard home: it's something you do in special situations.

    I don't think the new law would outlaw encrypting messages to your friend with PGP; nor having a second phone that you leave at the library for anonymity.
