Airbnb says it will be blocking and cancelling all reservations in the Washington, D.C. area during the week of the presidential inauguration.

Airbnb declined to say how many reservations were canceled. But over Presidents' Day weekend, the site lists more than 300 rentals in the Washington area.

Airbnb said that it had learned through media or law enforcement sources the names of individuals confirmed to have been responsible for the criminal activity at the U.S. Capitol. And it's investigated whether the named individuals have an account on Airbnb. Through this work, it said it has identified numerous individuals associated with known hate groups or otherwise involved in the criminal activity at the Capitol building, and they have been banned from Airbnb's platform.

The company also said Monday that it won’t give political donations to the Republicans who voted against certifying the results of the election last week. Airbnb joined Marriott, AT&T , Walmart and others in taking that stand. Meanwhile, a hotel labor union representing 7,200 hotel workers in the Washington area, called for hotel closures in the area to protect staff and the public.

genesimmons Great idea.

genesimmons I was unaware that it is their job to provide security .... I will have to watch for that in the future.

What an odd intersection of government and private business.

Is that Stallone ?

Good. Make these mf cowards sleep with their stupid weapons in cardboard boxes.

The red roof inn has 24 hours to respond

People don’t depend on Airbnb to participate

Nice going

Whoa

Airbnb thank you for this...

Whatever it takes to GET dude! Orange🍊45 should not be allowed to RUN AGAIN for any office ..& TAXPAYERS should not PAY for a pension , lifetime Secret Service ,travel benefits, etc . ALL the dude should get is PRISON TIME for COVID deaths,caged babies,RAPE, INSURRECTION...etc.

It's just crazy before you know it all Holiday Inns are going to cancel reservations and the Olive Gardens in the area are going to be closed.

How about those who voted for Biden and want to be there for the inauguration...?

what more movement restrictions by another company that wants to baby the election. This has gone too too far where is the law restriction of trade?

Anyone traveling on the Metro into the city, any car, any bus, any donkey will be identified, followed by camera and the second anything is suspicious looking, they'll swoop in. This is how every Trump rally should have been.

Such a shame that this has to happen. The traitors to the nation are still clinging to the notion they have been wronged somehow, despite their own misdeeds. You cannot heal psychotic children over night. You cannot force them to... GROW UP

Some where in Somalia

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 every other hotel should have detailed profile of all guests.
