Comment on Tell HN: Airbnb now opts in your name and photo to data sharingparent

Comments

If I see (in the photo/name) someone who has sexually assaulted me before, I'd like to be able to deny them from coming over to my house. Discrimination or not, people need to be allowed to deny people they would be uncomfortable with coming to their house. This is especially true for female hosts. My life > someone's hurt feelings that they don't get to Airbnb at my place

This black swan event doesn't outweigh rampant discrimination to me. AirBnB could also just let you submit a list of specific people for this.
