Banned together: Airbnb banning close associates of banned users
Airbnb Is Banning People Who Are ‘Closely Associated’ With Already-Banned Users
As a safety precaution, the tech company sometimes bans users because the company has discovered that they “are likely to travel” with another person who has already been banned.
There seems to be an uptick in companies clamping down on associated parties in various ways. For instance, Madison Square Garden uses facial recognition to do it. Be mindful of what you post on public profiles.
