In 2012, the swiss people also rejected a referendum about longer holidays. Another weird one is the Federal Gambling Act, a referendum of 2018 that made it legal to DNS block unlicensed gambling websites (for tax reasons). The swiss people basically voted to approve censorship with that one.

Absolutely!! And the politicians said: But to all the young peoples..don't fear that's the only thing we do, it's to prevent excessive/addicted gaming.

And funny enough, now we have 10x more advertisements for online-casinos but Swiss based (probably we should talking about that addictive thing again? And maybe micro-transactions in Games too?)
