Image remix 21/07/2013: But what about the children?

But what about the children?
But what about the children? (21/07/2013)

























1600x1200, But what about the children? We got some protesters, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Satanists, Cos-players, a solar explosion, a Freddie Mercury gorilla, a couple of birds, a president, the flying spaghetti monster, and a handful of vintage models; plus a whole bunch of other stuff going on. The only question is, "Who will think of the children?", or should that be, "What will the children think?"?

PRISM

Dear Netsterest users,

You may be aware of reports alleging that Netsterest and several other Internet companies have joined a secret U.S. government program called PRISM to give the National Security Agency direct access to our servers. We would like to respond to the press reports, and give you the facts.

Netsterest is not and has never been part of any program to give the US or any other government direct access to our servers. We have never received a blanket request or court order from any government agency asking for information or metadata in bulk, like the one Verizon reportedly received. We hadn't even heard of PRISM before yesterday.

When governments ask Netsterest for data, we review each request carefully to make sure they always follow the correct processes and all applicable laws, and then only provide the information if is required by law. We will continue fighting aggressively to keep your information safe and secure. Any suggestion that Netsterest is disclosing information about our users’ Internet activity on such a scale is completely false.

We strongly encourage all governments to be much more transparent about all programs aimed at keeping the public safe. It's the only way to protect everyone's civil liberties and create the safe and free society we all want over the long term. We here at Netsterest understand that the U.S. and other governments need to take action to protect their citizens’ safety—including sometimes by using surveillance. But the level of secrecy around the current legal procedures undermines the freedoms we all cherish.
