and this is interesting because?
- CodeWriter23 10y agoThe facts reveal that AirBNB is actively covering up that they are permitting hosts to violate New York Law by listing multiple dwellings on the platform.
- rco8786 10y agoHmm. Is that their responsibility to enforce? Not really familiar with the details here, but it seems akin to holding Craigslist responsible for someone selling a stolen bike.
- aarongolliver 10y agoMore akin to Craigslist deleting a bunch of stolen bike posts right before snapshotting the DB, during an investigation of illegal sales on Craigslist. ~~~(And only deleting them in the city where the investigation is happening)~~~
- hn9780470248775 10y agoDid that happen?

- aarongolliver 10y agoActually I miss read the link. The parenthetical is inaccurate, but the rest is exactly what the article alleges.
- swsieber 10y agoI would say you have a bad analogy - Craigslist doesn't really have a good way of knowing if somebody is selling something stolen. AirBNB on the other hand is covering evidence of their customers breaking the law, on purpose.
- jgalt212 10y agoso isn't that ipso facto aid and abetting? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiding_and_abetting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiding_and_abetting
- forrestthewoods 10y agoIf states don't have to enforce federal immigration law then do businesses have to enforce state restrictions? (Probably yes. If that's what the laws say. I have no idea.)
- CodeWriter23 10y agoThey collect the SSN of hosts for the federally-mandated 1099K disclosures, so they can use that or a hash of that as a unique identifier and prevent listing multiple dwellings in localities that have such laws.
- CodeWriter23 10y agoNo. It is their responsibility to accurately disclose.
