Does Airbnb Have a Race Problem?

Available for over a year

The hashtag #Airbnbwhileblack has been trending this week after African American twitter users accused some homeowners on the room booking website of rejecting them because of their skin colour. Greg Selden from Virginia says when he used fake white profiles he was accepted at properties who had previously said the room was unavailable. Plus, has Facebook been censoring conservative news trends? This week it was revealed that a team of journalists review the trending topics which appear in the top right hand corner of the site. That’s led to allegations that the site has promoted more liberal stories. Produced by Kate Lamble and Emma Wilson Photo credit: Airbnb publicity video
