Surely the tweet means that Airbnb are paying the fee that otherwise would be paid by guests? We only have the tweet to go on, so what makes you think otherwise?

An employee on this thread linked to their Disasters Program, where this even will appear, and which works like that.

No, it doesn't.

Airbnb waives the airbnb fees, but does not pay the host for accommodations offered under the program. To me, that is not "Airbnb is providing free housing".

Sorry, I wasn't clear. By "like that", I meant not paying the host :)
