Man könnte als Österreicher etwas tun - falls es nicht "zu aufwendig" ist, eine Bürgerintiative mit einer Unterschrift zu unterstützen. Aber wer Kinder und Enkel hat und nichts tut ... ... tja.

TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys.
