   Airbnb isn't letting neo-Nazis take advantage of its services, Gizmodo   
   reported early Monday.   
      
      
   The home-sharing platform has deleted the accounts of suspected attendees of   
   the United The Right, an event to be held in Charlottesville, Virginia this   
   Saturday. The event is being organized by The Daily Stormer, a racist   
   website.   
      
   Gizmodo cited tweets about the issue that included screenshots of emails from   
   Airbnb about the user's account being in "violation of our Terms of Service."   
      
   Airbnb's terms include a non-discrimination policy called the "Airbnb   
   Community Commitment." This commitment, which all Airbnb users must sign on   
   to in order to use the platform, is about belonging and was part of an ad   
   campaign last year. It came after several reports alleging racism among its   
   hosts.   
      
   "In 2016 we established the Airbnb Community Commitment reflecting our belief   
   that to make good on our mission of belonging, those who are members of the   
   Airbnb community accept people regardless of their race, religion, national   
   origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or   
   age," reads a statement from an Airbnb spokesperson to Gizmodo.   
      
   A user, cited by Gizmodo, alleged that Airbnb's actions are discriminatory   
   because they are "cancelling the reservations of customers based upon their   
   political views."

   Looks like Airbnb is permanently deactivating the account of anyone booking a   
   room in Charlottesville if they think it's for the rally. Gay!

   Airbnb investigated and, in some situations, chose to remove users from the   
   platform that they believed were booking listings related to The Daily   
   Stormer's event.   
      
   "When through our background check processes or from input of our community   
   we identify and determine that there are those who would be pursuing behavior   
   on the platform that would be antithetical to the Airbnb Community   
   Commitment, we seek to take appropriate action including, as in this case,   
   removing them from the platform," the Airbnb spokesperson's statement to   
   Gizmodo continued.
