I think the point was to congratulate DDG on its success, not to say that DDG would be more resistant to the military digital complex.

Their motto is they don't track your history at all, so even if the government asked for information or it became part of prism they would have nothing to give.

Under which law. Current data retention laws are you have to retain what you say you retain. So if your stated policy is 90 days but you only keep 30, you are not compliant. But if you keep 0 and state you keep 0 days you are compliant. Obviously, there are different rules for finance, govt, and medical industries.
Second, I am not sure about their future. It looks like its a temporary spark after all the omg-goverment-tracks-my-searches paranoia.
The fact is, if the large organisations such as Google or Microsoft could not admit on the record to participation in PRISM, what makes you think Duck will? Further, if PRISM is real and if large organisations such as Google or Microsoft could not say "no", what makes you think Duck will have an option for a different fate? Lastly, if there is no trucking by gov of your searches, then there is not much different in using Google versus Duck for someone who has been using Google for years and just temporarily switched to Duck.
