Love or hate Lauren Southern, this is a bad position for Airbnb to take. It's arbitrary and over reaching and it's really none of airbnb's business. Focus on renters that are using properties for illicit means or destroy property and break the law and terms of service.

There is something both hilarious and disturbing about how righteously smarmy these companies have become.
