If you think it’s just conservatives themselves being targeted by the woke mob and their corporate sponsors, think again. Airbnb was just busted having banned the parents of a popular conservative YouTuber simply due to their association with her.
The YouTuber, a young woman named Lauren Southern, shared an email from Airbnb in which the company informed her parents that they were being banned from the platform because they are “closely associated” with Southern, who is banned from using it.
“We’ve removed you from the Airbnb platform because your account is closely associated with a person who isn’t allowed to use Airbnb. This means you’ll no longer be able to book reservations on Airbnb,” the message reads.
“My parents just got banned from AirBnB for being related to me. They have never booked anything for me. They do not represent me in any way. They aren’t publicly political in any way. How is this sane in any way [Airbnb],” Southern tweeted when sharing a screenshot of the message.
Her tweet quickly went viral and got picked up by a Fox News producer, who demanded Airbnb explain their decision to ban Southern’s parents. Soon after, Airbnb said they had made a mistake and restored Southern’s parents’ account.
“The only thing they’re sorry for is negative press,” Southern responded. “‘Oops my hand slipped and I tracked down a political activists parents and specifically banned them while citing association to their daughter – my bad!'”
- “They’re trying to make this look like a mistake due to bad PR. It was not. They just miscalculated how far they could go,” she tweeted.

This is fantastic good news. It’s time to block all bad people from using AIRBNB.
About @JayD and others of the same ilk. The comments section in YWN has become TROLL-PARADISE. 90% of the comments is from some imbecile hiding behind a screen and spewing nonsense. YWN, do a better job at moderating comments or shut down the section altogether!
I’m not sure where YWN plagiarized this news piece from but, for the record, Lauren Southern isn’t just some innocent “popular conservative YouTuber”. She’s a far-right activist with a history of some very controversial comments, including some about Hitler and the Holocaust, and regularly appears on the shows of neo-Nazis, such as Richard Spencer.
It isn’t cool for Frum Jews to pander up to any white supremacist who hates them, just because Ben Shapiro does it.
Airbnb was always woke
“Popular conservative youtuber” seems completely accurate. She is NOT a “white supremacist”, and she’s certainly not an antisemite. Even if she’s a “far right activist”, tell me what is wrong with that. Why should we not defend her? What has she ever said that we should have an issue with? Can you cite some of her “very controversial statements” “about Hitler and the Holocaust” and explain exactly what is wrong with them? I don’t think you can.
Pittedolives,
Just did a quick internet surf on Lauren southern and saw no record on antisemitic comments, although she’s made some inflammatory but unfortunately true remarks on foreign immigration.
