Airbnb IS NOT providing free housing. Airbnb isn't paying for housing refugees. Potential hosts can offer free housing, which just makes Airbnb like Couchsurfing. So Airbnb isn't paying for anything here or even giving anything for free.

People who really want to help can use CouchSurfing web site instead of promoting a for profit business.

If Airbnb offered free housing it would mean they would actually pay the host to house refugees, they are not.

Brian Chesky's tweet is disingenuous. It's aggregating when people use the suffering of others as an opportunity for self-promotion, regardless of whether their actions ultimately help anyone (especially if they take more credit than they deserve).

Surprising fact, though! Couchsurfing.com is actually a for profit organization. Their business model, however, is not the same as AirBnB.
