I'm surprised that some are siding with AirBnB, despite the fact that AirBnb themselves reversed their decision after being contacted by the media.

Suddenly removing a customer from a platform, and then denying them the right to appeal, is obviously wrong. Unfortunately it's not just AirBnb. Many people have experienced similar kafkaesque treatment in the hands of large private corporations.

This is orthogonal to whether the policy was judicious - it only means ABnB decided the cost wasn't worth the benefit.
