    It is a nice PR but for me I am not impressed. Rolex is also a non profit organization in Switzerland and and mostly help hiding there finance.

    Correct me if I am wrong but all I see is words and promises. I would trust them if they release the yearly finance transparently.

    For now the only act I can judge them on is their collaboration with police to give ecologist activists IP.

            They won’t go to jail, period. No company owners never go to jail, kinda ever. This phrase is out of proportion. At worse they would have a fine.

            Also still in the blog everything is words and very opaque like " We do this not only through technology and advocacy (Proton has contributed over $500,000 toward defending these values around the world)" : like where, what, when?

            “There was no legal possibility to resist or fight this particular request.” : I doubt very much unless Switzerland is a dictatorship in disguise.

            “Switzerland generally will not assist prosecutions from countries without fair justice systems.” : clearly not.

              Should they always go into a downward spiral and explain everything they did? Check out the Proton Christmas fundraisers, that’s what they are talking about

              No legal system in the world allows you to fight everything all the time. Get to reality.

              Wasn’t that case in France? Don’t remember exactly. Not sure if you’re calling France to have unfair justice systems, but then you should probably look for a new planet, because nothing is 100% fair unfortunately.

              You can still distinguish between very bad, kind of bad, okayish, and mostly good.
