Airbnb is a short-term rental company, not a f*ing nation state.
It amuses/disgusts me when the default position of companies like this is to treat their security policies as some sort of state secret, leading to these Kafka-esque scenarios.
Sadly, I don't really know what the person here can do except write articles like these. Probably doesn't have much of a legal leg to stand on.

I tried to help a friend figure out why their account was terminated, and it would have been nice if their e-mail said: "Your account was terminated because you violated terms of conditions x,y,z". Could be because they are afraid of lawsuits that they aren't more specific?
