Why does Airbnb mask company names like Google and Facebook on traveler profiles?
If I say I work at Google or Facebook, Airbnb hides the company name on my traveler profile. "Netflix" and "Instagram" are fine. What's the deal?

It masks phone numbers and common sites/email domain providers

Kjfg25 OP May 30, 2018So you're saying it masks the word "Google" and "Facebook" site wide?

Because itโs trying to prevent people from messaging each other and saying โfind me on Facebookโ or โGoogle me at ...โ; this is to prevent hosts and guests from taking transactions offline and skirting our booking platform. That said, itโs overly aggressive and produces false positives, which accounts for the behavior youโre seeing. I would consider it a bug.
