Also scary considering that if Airbnb does not like you, for whatever valid or invalid reason, you are not welcome in either local hosting or hotels worldwide. Given that Airbnb already declined hosting people they considered attending a lawful political rally (the "hateful nazi's of Charlottesville"), their increased reach concerns me.

You could still stay at any hotel worldwide. Just not using hotelstonight to book. Although I doubt any bans on Airbnb would extend to hotelstonight because liability for hotel damage does not extend to booking agents.

Whereas, with Airbnb, they cover any damages that guests may do or issues that may arise from the hosts as well.

It feels like we're heading towards (or already living in) China's social credit score system but administered by corporations.

Do you know they banned using your horn here in Shanghai and replaced all the mopeds with electric ones over night, the city is less polluted and I can sleep in this cheap AirBnb. Pretty good dictatorship in this regard. While we argue they are winning.
