新澳門學社對美國網絡監控計劃之聲明
自6月上旬，英美傳媒開始導報美國之菱鏡計劃等網絡監控行動，當中涉反多間著名網上服務供應商如 Google、Facebook、Microsoft、Apple 等與美國國家安全部合作，讓美國政府以「保護『國家安全』」之名，直接取得「外地」用戶私人通訊及資料。
新澳門學社早前致函行政長官崔世安，要求澳門特區政府正式跟隨香港及世界多國之政府，正式向美國查詢本澳是否有任何個人或組織成為監控對象。此外，澳門亦應參照之前處理 Google 街景收集相片及無線網絡數據之事件，主動立案調查主要網上服務供應商，有否違反本澳法律。
新澳門學社強烈讉責美國秘密開展侵犯全球網民私隱之計劃，此事件將西方列強的虛偽表露無遺。新澳門學社認為美國應儘快向全球公眾公佈所有網絡監控計劃之細節，並向公眾交待如何處理已收集之資料以及關閉上述監控行動之計劃。
另外，揭密者斯諾登被當成以罪犯及間諜追緝，早前斯諾登透過維基解密發表聲明，指奧巴馬言行不一，奧巴馬公開發言時指不會用交外手段壓迫其他交出斯諾登，但私下就向多國元首施壓不要批准斯諾登之政治庇護申請。新澳門學社促請美國政府停止對斯諾登之政治迫害，尊重他國給予政治庇護之主權。此外，應以「揭密者」身份對待斯諾登，讓他免於被起訴。
Statement by the New Macau Association on U.S. Internet Surveillance Programmes
In early June, the PRISM and other internet surveillance programmes implemented by the United States government were exposed by British and American newspapers with the involvement of major internet service providers, namely Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple. It was reported that the U.S. government had direct access to the private communications and data in the name of national security.
The New Macau Association (NMA) has requested the Chief Executive in writing to inquire the U.S. government about that if there has been any Macau individual or organisation being targeted. In addition, the Macau government should proactively launch an investigation into the back doors, in breach of the local laws, opened by the internet service providers, in analogy with the case of Google’s collection of pictures and Wifi signals on the streets in Macau handled by the GPDP last year.
The NMA strongly condemns the internet surveillance programmes that infringe the privacy of netizens worldwide by the United States government. The incident exhibits the hypocrisy of the western powers. The NMA urges the U.S. government to reveal to the public the details of the surveillance programmes, the handling of the data collected, and the plan to the shutdown those programmes.
Furthermore, Edward Snowden, the whistleblower being wanted as a criminal and a spy, released a statement through Wikileaks about Obama’s deception that on one hand Obama had promised not to allow any diplomatic "wheeling and dealing" over Snowden’s case but on the other hand he ordered pressuring the leaders of other nations to turn down Snowden’s asylum applications. The NMA calls upon the U.S. government to cease the political persecution of Edward Snowden. Snowden should be treated as a whistleblower and be granted full immunity from prosecution.
