Earlier quoted context omitted.

On what grounds is there a lawsuit? Hasn't scraping been classified as legal?

Calling someone’s apartment an opium den is potentially libel, and if it results in a material financial impact, you’ve got a lawsuit.

Airbnb was actually started by two guys who created an opium den for Obama's convention so this doesn't surprise me.

In some sense airbnb would be better if there was more opium dens and less influencer dens
