Airbnb Hires Ex-US Attorney General to Help Shape Policy

Airbnb said on Wednesday it hired former US Attorney General Eric Holder to help craft its anti-discrimination policy to combat discrimination occurring on the home-sharing company’s platform.

Airbnb, which allows private homeowners, or “hosts,” on the site to rent apartments and houses on a short-term basis, has received complaints of discrimination based on race, gender and sexual orientation.

“While we have a policy that prohibits discrimination, we want this policy to be stronger,” Airbnb Chief Executive Brian Chesky said in a blog post announcing the hiring of Holder.

Holder, the first African American to hold the position of US Attorney General, will be working with John Relman, a civil rights attorney and authority “on fair housing and public accommodation issues,” Chesky said.

In June, Holder wrote to lawmakers on behalf of ride-hailing service Uber to argue against the use of fingerprint-based background checks as they consider how to regulate ride-hailing service drivers.

Airbnb has said that discrimination occurring on its platform is the biggest challenge facing the company. Last month, the hashtag #AirbnbWhileBlack trended heavily on Twitter in the United States, serving as a forum for black travelers to share experiences of racial discrimination from white Airbnb hosts.
