This is not about HIV and AIDS. This is about freedom of expression, entitlement to privacy and the right use of power given by the people. It’s about social media, we all use to promote our cause. It’s about the very civil rights, our forefather fought and suffered for… It’s about the environment we are able to work as citizens of the world. And if the “greatest nation on earth” , as they like to proclaim themselves, the beacon of democracy, as they see themselves and the country almost all our email traffic touches in one or the other way – then it’s time for everybody, regardless in which field one is working to stand up and say “no” and “stop it”. Maybe even the word “resistance” against those abusing their mandate and making a joke of democracy and liberty has to come into play.
