This is just ridiculous and will do nothing but ratchet up tensions. Now Airbnb is going to be the arbiter of who is a nazi and who isn't? What if a person is merely "alt-right"? What about "alt-light"? Or what if some other marginalized group comes and complains about giving quarter to black supremacists or non-white supremacists? They are out there. And many showed up in Charlottesville. I can't even imagine the cost of running such a program both in terms of manpower, engineering, and PR blowback. Of course it is their business to do what they want, but I don't think it is very smart or sustainable.
