Did you really delete your account because they want to measure whether people are being discriminated against (with an opt out available)?
Man, this comment and some similar sibling comments betray this mentality where racism is the ultimate evil and, thus, anything done in the name of fighting racism is justified.
In particular, multiple people seem to think you're not allowed to criticise Airbnb's approach to handling private data _because Airbnb purportedly is using it to somehow fight discrimination_. Nevermind that:
* There's no transparency about how this 3rd party will use the data
* There's no data on how effective their approach will be.
* The default is opt-in, not opt-out.
* Airbnb has done ethically dubious things before.
Yet, according to some comments, if you don't let Airbnb use your data, you're supporting the racists/being tone deaf.
