    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.

      Okay but Rolex is Rolex. There are uncountably many non-profits, and many (most?) do good work. I don’t think Rolex is representative of your usual non profit.

      You mean because they were forced to? Like every other Swiss organization under the exact same order? I always find this type of “argument” so purposefully obtuse.
