Blocking certain places due to gang activity, violence and extortion

[Daniel8442]

I tried to do this before. But they say I'm discriminating and it's against our policy. But it's a real concern where we live and people are murdered kidnapped and extorted. I'd like a way to be able to filter who can actually see our listing to avoid some of these serious and Grave problems that are very real in this country. Customer service doesn't seem to care about my safety or my family safety for the safety of our guests. They think I'm discriminating but I'm just trying to create a safe practical environment. Is there any way to do this without hurting airbnb's feelings about discriminating when it comes to my safety in my life?

@Daniel8442   The function you're describing does not exist, because all active Airbnb listings are public. They're viewable by anyone with an internet connection, regardless of whether they have an Airbnb account. There's nothing that customer service can do to change that, no matter how deeply they might care about your safety.

If you're concerned that your listing's visibility to locals puts your family or guests in danger, the only thing you can do is deactivate it. I know the situation in El Salvador is very serious, but there's nothing a customer service agent can do about that.
