NOTE: CHARLOTTESVILLE IS HAPPENING NOW – ALL INFO HERE.
Airbnb, a room-renting app, is setting a new standard in political repression in this country by denying lodging to and shutting down of people attending the event at Charlottesville.
Probably, there is some kind of civil rights case here. Or there would be, if the Jews actually followed their own rules with regards to “civil rights.”
We were all born Nazis as much as any faggot was born obsessed with the anuses of other men.
Airbnb has canceled accounts of users who planned to attend a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday. Gizmodo first reported the story and confirmed it with Airbnb. The company said in part: “In 2016 we established the Airbnb Community Commitment reflecting our belief that to make good on our mission of belonging, those who are members of the Airbnb community accept people regardless of their race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age. We asked all members of Airbnb to affirmatively sign on to this commitment.” It’s unclear how many users were banned.
But are these people not being banned because they are heterosexual white Christian males?
If not, what is the reason?
Because they feel the emotion of hate?
How can you prove someone is feeling an emotion based on their internet profile?
There are plenty of stories about users being kicked off of apps and other platform for discriminatory behavior, like Tinder banning users who send others racist comments.
No one is discriminating against anyone by renting a place to sleep – they are being discriminated against on the basis that they allegedly feel a certain type of emotion.
But Airbnb banning users who aren’t using the platform itself for discriminatory action is a different case. Hotels, for example, can’t cancel the reservations of guests headed to the same supremacist rally. But Airbnb is taking a companywide stance against racist behavior. Whether it was a business move or purely ideological stance is up for debate.
If hotels can’t do it, then how can what is effectively a hotel room app?
This is like saying Uber drivers would be allowed to ban black people from riding with them “because they’re not actually taxis.”
I have no idea how they are figuring out who is going to this rally. Or how they’re figuring out who is going as pro-monument and who is going as anti-monument. We’ll know soon enough, because the people it happened to will tell us.
It had something to do with reading our forums.
The company suspects several listings in the area were booked with the intention of holding parties for neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer. The Daily Stormer’s staff have publicly announced their intention to attend Unite The Right.
But I don’t see how they could connect multiple DS accounts to multiple Airbnb accounts unless they’re using some kind of AI specially designed for this purpose.
Azzmador had his team’s Airbnb reservation canceled I just heard, though I haven’t heard the details of it. They had to check into a hotel, because hotels aren’t allowed to discriminate.
Slate is celebrating that this ban of “Nazis” sets a new precedent in tech.
This is all cartoonish. Telling people they can’t rent a hotel room because of their political beliefs and/or supposed emotional state.
But as always, remember: this is good. This level of desperation shows just how panicked the opposition is about our rise.
