It seems to me this is reverse discrimination for lack of a term. If we are not allowed to obtain precise information about potential guests–then this should also apply to hosts!
As a host I am required to have a photo on the site and other personal information–therefore we should have the same thing for guests.
I realize that if this happened, the AirBnB model would not work, but with what has happened, it has put us halfway there.
