[Chapter-delegates] Message from Andrew Sullivan

[Katarina]

Thank you Christine for sharing.

Hope all are safe in this very difficult period and very hope that we can
stay above the political fightings and keep the Internet working everywhere
and for everyone (as we always try).
Definitely true "*Cutting a whole population off the Internet will stop
disinformation coming from that population—but it also stops the flow of
truth".*

And we always have to remember that even if countries are against each
other at some points (a lot of cases) all bans bring difficulties to
regular people at first. And if we act against a particular country because
consider it an aggressor, we have to open our eyes widely, there are more
countries acting as aggressors too. Double standards are not good.

Thank you and stay safe.
