Airbnb Sues New York City Over Law Requiring Disclosure of Names

Airbnb filed suit over a new law, passed in July, that would make it easier for New York City to crack down on illegal listings by requiring Airbnb and other home-sharing companies to share hosts’ names and addresses with the city’s enforcement agency on a monthly basis. In its suit, Airbnb says the law violates its users’ privacy and constitutional rights.
