Honestly, if they want their "We're opposed to this" statement to be anything but hollow rhetoric? Yes.

- FussyZeus 10y agoTech companies being required to enforce regulatory burdens is not only impractical but it's also a very slippery slope to the orwellian future we claim to not want. Airbnb shouldn't be any more responsible for making users follow housing law than Tesla should be responsible for making people obey speed limits or home automation companies making people follow water usage rules. There's plenty of valid criticism to be made about Airbnb not properly vetting their users when they offer up properties, but enforcing rental/hotel law shouldn't be one of them. It's not Airbnb's problem, it's the landlord's, as we're now seeing.
