Discrimination Based Upon Political Beliefs is Abhorrent

[Jason2034]

Airbnb - your discriminatory practices against anyone who does not abide by your ultra-liberalistic fascism is disgusting and wrong.

Banning Lauren Southern's PARENTS because you don't like her conservatism?  What's wrong with you people?

This is just like China's Social Credit Score system - where you discriminate against those who don't abide by your political agenda.  

Your actions are unAmerican and disgusting.  I will no longer support your company.

@Jason2034 with only 1 review from 3 years ago I doubt your refusal to use Airbnb will even be noticed.

You denied one couple use of airb&b due to the political views of their daughter, [Lauren Southern]. I will not book airb&b again if you try to silence the daughter by punishing the parents. 

[Mike-And-Jane0]

@Ben4993 this is not Airbnb but I am sure the community centre would like to know what Airbnb is up to. Who denied the parents the ability to book a stay?

[Mike-And-Jane0]

@Ben4993 I've just looked her up and see she has been banned from entering the UK. Still a bit odd that her parents have been banned but perhaps they share similar views.....

Can you link to the information showing the parents have been banned because of the daughter's activities @Ben4993 

[Helen3]

This is such a non story @Ben4993  @Jason2034  the news article clearly states Airbnb have restored the parent's access to their account.

That being the case why did you both join this community purely to have a rant?? Sounds more likely political posturing to me. 🙂

If you want to support an ultra right wing commentator who espouses racial and religious hatred that's your choice.

[Helen3]

Hello @Jason2034  are you one of this person's parents? I'm a little confused about your connection to the parents and how you know Airbnb has banned them from the platform.

[Mark116]

@Helen3  It has been reported in the US  media and is on social media also.  The woman in question posted a screen shot of the message her parents received from Airbnb banning them from the platform.

Got a link to that, so we can run our personal combs through this story and perhaps find out what really is its intent and how it came to be.

Thank you @Mark116 . Now could follow the conversation.

[Ben4993]

I saw it on a news feed. I did not save the link. If you google it I bet it will show up.

Let's face it folks, the world is highly politicized nowadays and keeping focused and sharing what we do have in common a lot more difficult. I see Airbnb as being 'young' and on its own journey, so I don't get too upset at some of its 'odd' youthful decisions. Reason will ultimately prevail however, and human nature is not going anywhere either.

/ back to my own 'island'.

[Ben4993]

I do get upset about any type of discrimination. If you do not feel that way I respect your right to do so. This discrimination was worse than most because it was punishing the parents because of what one family member said. This is NOT what America is about.
