@Ray257 They're trying to prevent hosts and guests from exchanging contact info that would allow them to move the transaction off-platform and cut Airbnb out of the service fee. But the censorship bot often mistakes other numbers or random words for contact info and butchers an innocent message.

I d say it s still inlawfull. Airbnb had my commision all ready since the beginning, we the owners of properties should allign and maybe then go to a plafform off ourselves where info is not butchered and or censored..

 

Airbnb also takes commision from clients and me now...why is that?..should only be from one the renter...

 

 

@Ray257   Which law do you believe it to be violating?

 

Airbnb doesn't take a commission until the booking is confirmed. After that, you're supposed to be able to see the guest's phone number without any censorship.
