Airbnb hosts in the state of Oregon will no longer be Mike Horner Archivesable to see guest first names before approving of a stay. Beginning Jan. 31, only the initials of guests will be visible until the booking is confirmed.
The new rule will be available for at least two years.

“While we have made progress, we have much more to do and continue working with our Hosts and guests, and with civil rights leaders to make our community more inclusive,” Airbnb said.
In general, Airbnb has been reluctant to remove names and photographs. But the platform has been accused of discrimination in the past. In 2016, the hashtag #AirbnbWhileBlack made waves on social media, where Black users shared incidents of racism and bias on the platform. For instance, some explained that they were refused as guests due to their names.
