The article says the offender had been charged but not convicted; what are they supposed to do? Know better than the justice system? And then they'd have complaints that people who have been wrongly accused at some point and found innocent, many of whom are likely to be minorities, are denied business by AirBNB.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoAirBnB should just implement its own social scoring system. Apply it to everyone so they already have data for future hosts and guests. /s but I kinda want to see such a tech and head-explosions of the announcement.
- lupire 5y agoThey could disclose the charges and let guests decide.
- refurb 5y agoIs it really that unreasonable to tell someone they can’t be a host until their violent crime charges are resolved?
- himinlomax 5y ago"Innocent until proven guilty"
- refurb 5y agoAirBnB is not putting these people in prison they just aren’t letting them be hosts. I mean, would you be cool with letting someone charged with a violent crime work at a daycare until found guilty?
- himinlomax 5y agoI'm not saying it's not a problem, I'm saying there's no simple and fair solution.
