Often on HN people talk about the need to re-integrate convicted criminals into society upon release from prison, giving them opportunities to find employment and housing.

Someone who posted evil things on Iron March may have reformed. We don't know what they currently want to do. For how long should someone who posted on Iron March banned from Airbnb? If Airbnb is doing the right thing, should all hotels have similar blacklists?

People who have sincerely turned away from that path can easily find ways to contact anti-fascists and dish all the dirt they have on their former peers if they really want to.
