AirBnB is apparently avoiding these laws by putting forced arbitration into its terms of service. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jordanlebeau/2016/11/02/racial-discrimination-suit-against-airbnb-should-be-settled-by-private-arbitration-says-federal-judge/#55c7f8a414b7 https://www.forbes.com/sites/jordanlebeau/2016/11/02/racial-...
