AirBNB Bans Parents of Woman Fighting Child Trafficking - You're Next, For No Reason
Is it time to start a replacement for AirBNB? They seem to have gone off the deep end.

Earlier this week Lauren Southern learned that her parents were banned from Airbnb because of her conservative activism and standing up against human trafficking.
After all, Airbnb is a woke principled company.
On Tuesday, right-wing commentator Lauren Southern tweeted, “My parents just got banned from AirBnB for being related to me.”
“They have never booked anything for me. They do not represent me in any way. They aren’t publicly political in any way,” she continued. ”How is this sane in any way?”
She shared a screenshot of an email sent to her parents which stated, “We’ve removed you from the Airbnb platform because your account is closely associated with a person who isn’t allowed to use Airbnb. This means you’ll no longer be able to book reservations on Airbnb.”
YouTube-Google removed the documentary on the European border crisis the next month – because they believe in open borders and support illegal human trafficking.

I honestly haven't followed this story at all, but 99% of the time these stories come up it's because someone acted like a troll and violated the ToS and is trying to drum up outrage by pretending they were banned because of their beliefs instead of their misbehavior. And in the keenest form of irony, it's almost always someone that lectures about other people being whiney and not taking responsibility for their actions.
Thousands of people get banned from these platforms every day for violating the terms. It's just when someone who is outspoken and likes to play the victim decides to throw a hissy fit when it happens to them that it makes headlines.
It's like an 8 year old that punches their little sister for no reason and then cries "you're not fair" when they get their ice cream taken away in response.
Like I said, I haven't followed this particular instance so maybe it's not the case here, but these perpetual babies have lost the benefit of the doubt.
