This is a little different.
Law Enforcement want data from Facebook because it's useful to an investigation.
Law Enforcement want data from AirBnB because the act of working with AirBnb is the illegal part.
So asking a drug dealer for the name of his distributors seems reasonable to me. Or asking the illegal online betting company the names of those who were placing illegal bets.
Though the regulations should hopefully be more clear on this.
- l4yao 8y agoAirbnb isn't banned in New York, it can be operated legally. The city is asking for a full list of all operators, including hosts abiding by regulation. If continuing the (poor) Facebook analogy, this is akin to asking for a full list of their users, even the ones abiding by the law.
- lern_too_spel 8y agoThe city already has the names and addresses of the law abiding ones. They registered with the city.
