NY Attorney General hits AirBnB with subpoena for user data
Good.  I know that Chesky is trying to pretend that this is about people who occasionally share their homes, but that's bullshit.  There are a lot of people who are stuck living next to illegal, untaxed hotels because one of their neighbors AirBNBs their place full time.I know that a lot of people on this site think that if you add the words 'on the internet' you should be exempt from all regulation and taxation, but that's just not how the world works.I hope that the people who've been profiting from the lack of enforcement are forced to play on a level playing field.Disclaimer: my experience with NYC AirBNBs have been incredibly negative, including people listing with fake names, revealing that they'd given fake addresses at the last minute (when it was already too late to change plans), showing deceptive photos, and giving false descriptions.
