Airbnb is deploying “anti-party technology” to ruin your NYE party

SMRTR summary

Airbnb is deploying "anti-party technology" to prevent unauthorized New Year's Eve gatherings at its listings. The system uses machine learning to identify high-risk bookings based on trip factors. In some countries, guests must agree to anti-party terms and book for over three days. Airbnb reports blocking 74,000 potential party bookings globally in 2023. This initiative aims to reduce disruptive events, following a fatal shooting at an Airbnb listing in 2019.
