Mike Masnick: This sounds bad, and I trust Brandy's reporting. I just wish Whistleblower Aid didn't have such a terrible record of totally distorting, misrepresenting and exaggerating claims for publicity, which makes me immediately distrust anyone they represent.

Whistleblower alleges Airbnb weakened its policies on extremists and hate groupswww.nbcnews.com Airbnb said that it remains committed to removing members of violent extremist groups and that it has hired additional people to do this work.

Did I miss a link to the whistleblower report in the article or did someone violate the First Rule again?

Yeah. It's not there, which also makes me skeptical of some of the details.

It's not public. According to the article they were able to see it through a source at the Hill that isn't authorized to have it.

This is odd though. “An Airbnb spokesperson, who asked that their name not be published because of the sensitive nature of the article, disputed the complaint’s allegations in a statement to NBC News, calling them “baseless and inaccurate.”
