Re: General questions about the Airbnb Community Commitment
#2> I agree to treat everyone in the Airbnb community—regardless of their race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age—with respect, and without judgment or bias.
This isn't really "non discrimination", this is a vague non binding statement. The FAQ doesn't even says what happens when that "commitment" is broken. Just that you have to accept it. So the title here is misleading.

Did you just not read two paragraphs below that where it says "What if I decline the commitment?", or do you just think it's pertinent for some reason?
Seems pretty clear: You can't discriminate, if you do we terminate your account at our discretion.
Edit: I read the question only in the narrow sense of "what if you refuse to accept the new policy" v.s. "what if you break the policy once you accept it?".
The answer to the latter seems to be:
1. You have to agree to Airbnb's TOS to use their site: https://www.airbnb.com/terms
2. Section 24.C ("Termination for breach, suspension and other measures") refers to section 14 ("User Conduct") which says you can't violate the "Policies and Community Guidelines" which links to https://www.airbnb.com/help/topic/250/terms---policies
3. That links to their nondiscrimination policy (https://www.airbnb.com/help/topic/533/nondiscrimination), which seems to be the longer legalese version of what the linked blogpost is a tl;dr of.

#6I don't use Airbnb and most likely never will.
However, let's say for argument sake I do want to rent my extra bedroom out. What if I don't want rent to some weirdo crust punk? I wouldn't feel like my children are safe. I would probably only rent out to single professionals only.
I guess Airbnb is not a good fit for hypothetical people like me.

#7I can't stand the whole Airbnb image and culture. Your typical highly privileged founders, born into wealth running with the winds at their back, while they try to claim they are making the world a better place. And their engineering propaganda and how young college students are obsessed with working there. I can't think of how this company is technically innovative and solving hard technical problems like other unicorn startups are doing. At least companies like Stripe are actually doing interesting technology things.

No, that's not clear.
What's clear is that if you press "no" on the popup, they'll terminate your account.
What will happen if you press "yes" and then continue to discriminate however you like? My guess: not much.

That's what happens if you decline the commitment. But what if you break the commitment? (That is, accept the commitment but discriminate anyway). I'll bet nothing at all, unless an egregious incident starts trending on social media.

#10Throwaway for obvious reasons.
I discriminate against people based on their national origin AMA.
