    The original ban.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      what did the daughter do to get banned? Publicly question mask mandates?

      Education is extremely important.

        @Horace said in airbnb: "We're banning you because of your relative.":

        what did the daughter do to get banned? Publicly question mask mandates?

        She's kind of out there. She got banned from Patreon, was barred from entering the UK.

        F'ing right-wing Canadian.

        Michelle Malkin was banned from Airbnb as well.

        "My name's Cedar, and I'm with Airbnb's Trust team," the Nov. 24, 2021, email began. "It has come to our attention that you were a keynote speaker for the 2021 American Renaissance Conference earlier this month in Tennessee. Airbnb's community policies prohibit people who are members of or actively associate with known hate groups. Due to your promotion and participation in a known white nationalist and white supremacist conference, we have determined that we will remove your account from Airbnb. This is consistent with action we've taken to ban people associated with this conference in past years."

          Never heard of this person before. Is she one who would hold the opinion that bakers and photographers get to refuse serve anyone?

            I don't know about that, but she's an extreme right-wing Canadian commentator.

            But, do you believe that Airbnb should prevent someone from doing business with them because of their religious political beliefs? What about that person's parents?

              I believe they ought to ban all men of Asian descent.

              They probably smell funny. Or have cooties. Or something...

                It’s not like they’re going to store ammonium nitrate there or build bombs. Jeez.

                  Why do you keep repeating this lie repeatedly? And you know it is. It’s been pointed out to you multiple times that this never happened as you describe it.

                  Beyond that. Artists can and do refuse commissions all the time for any reason. These weren’t cases where a grocery store refused to sell them commodities because they were gay. This isn’t a restaurant choosing to not serve them or a hotel refusing to house them.

                    So how do we stop AirBnB acting like this - government legislation?

                    Isn't the free-market capitalist concept the idea that companies can pretty much what they want to whomever they want? If you don't like how they act, then don't use them, IOW let the market decide. Isn't that the argument?

                    I'm sure if we look carefully we can find other historical examples of companies shitting all over people. In this case, they're just refusing to do business with somebody, presumably with the idea that the kind of people who typically use AirBnb will approve of this sort of thing.

                    I was only joking

                        You could have legislation that adds viewpoint discrimination to the civil rights act.

                        But that would be pretty drastic in its effects.

                        If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

                          Complaining about something does not imply support for new laws to ban it.

                                Lauren Southern's video of her 'traditional wife' lifestyle and its crash against the rocks of reality. It sounds like she married someone who wasn't ok with being attached to an "alt right" personality. He left her and now she's a broke single mom, but spiritually fulfilled.
