The truth is that he doesn't know why he was banned. Could have been a bug. Could have been something he did. Could have been the host knows someone at airbnb and got the guest banned. It doesn't really matter. Amazon does the same thing. Google does the same thing. Uber does the same thing. Yeah, people can argue companies can do business with whomever they want and blah blah (blah blah because the argument simply boils down to everything legal is fine) but the reality is that many of these services are essential for some people and we as a society need to start treating them as such. We should require clear explanations from such businesses at the very least. Otherwise, how do we know they are not breaking the law? Maybe they banned the author because they didn't like his ethnicity or gender or some other protected status. I do not see why we should give corporations such rights of refusal when we cannot police them to make sure that the rights are being used properly. I don't understand why we as a society don't make the corporations work for us rather than making us, the people, a slave to the corporation. In theory, we can do either. Reality is another story, of course.
