Airbnb want to control communication between host and guest

It’s a pretty easy way to avoid that problem - just to not use Airbnb anymore.

Sorry, but there aren’t any other viable platforms for homeshare listings. So no, not “easy”.

How wrong can they be? Amazing.

Using an Airbnb supplied number means your calls are going over their network.

Is there any mention of privacy or end to end encryption?

If there’s no encryption then using speech to text and AI they can then do whatever they want with the contents of your calls.

This is not being done for your benefit.

I hope this stays optional, I would never opt in to such an invasion of privacy.

Brand attachment/loyalty is a thing but I would say Airbnb is not Apple.
