Neos plan application – fake reviews: “Need stricter laws!”

After the “Krone” report on the Aparthotel Stacherhof in Fügen in Tyrol’s Zillertal, which is repeatedly confronted with fake reviews and hate comments, the Neos see State Secretary Florian Tursky and the Chamber of Commerce as having a duty. The Pinks want to submit a corresponding proposal in the next state parliament.

The Koch family, which runs the Aparthotel Stacherhof in Fügen, suffers from anonymous negative fake reviews with hateful comments. As reported, the family turned to the Crown after neither the police nor the lawyer could help. The report has brought the Tyrolean Neos onto the scene. They are calling for tougher laws and see Florian Tursky, the state secretary responsible for digitalization, as having a duty. “Processes are causing lasting damage to companies.” “We have a very busy state secretary who is at every event in Innsbruck on the campaign trail. Instead, he should advocate for stricter laws in this regard, because these processes on the Internet are causing lasting damage to our businesses,” demands Pink Action. To date, the only option left for those affected is to contact the platforms and wait for months for the comments to be deleted. “The Chamber of Commerce also has to act.” “During this time, they are deterring any interested guest from making a possible booking,” says Oberhofer. The Neos boss announces that at the next state parliament session he will submit a motion calling on the state government to “immediately contact” Tursky and the responsible ministry. The Chamber of Commerce also sees a challenge to the Pink. “It must finally act as a real interest group and offer legal representation for those affected.”
