Regulate Airbnb to local legislation 
When I looked at availability you are asked to confirm the nights you want, I pressed confirm and the message reply was that I will be advised in 24 hours for a confirmation of my booking.
By this one assumed that they will come back to you and confirm availability matches bit that you are given an opportunity to accept. 
No such thing happens. I was automatically charged without any confirmation  
Getting an approval by the host to cancel has been a fight. If Airbnb wants to operate in this country they need to abide by local legislation. 
We have the Consumer Protection Act and should be given an out.
