Airbnb Is Game To Share Safety Information With Rivals

Airbnb Inc. Chief Executive Officer Brian Chesky says he is “absolutely” willing to share information on dangerous listings with rival short-term rental providers in order to help protect users from violent crime. In an interview on Bloomberg TV on Tuesday, Chesky said Airbnb was already liaising with other platforms about party house listings, but that the companies could “of course go further” to include properties they’ve deemed to be dangerous. If implemented, such cooperation would see Airbnb, Expedia Group Inc.’s Vrbo and other rental companies disclosing information on properties they’ve banned after violent crimes have occurred there, to prevent the listing from popping up on another platform. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “Anything we can do to be able to help people feel like Airbnb is a safe community,” is something the company wants to prioritize, Chesky said in the interview. Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported a series of stories about violent crimes occurring inside Airbnb properties, including the mysterious death of Lauren Kassirer.
