Airbnb sells not just metadata, but actual messages to third parties? And Yelp sells what I eat?? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/04/business/secret-consumer-score-access.html …pic.twitter.com/xoERq0MqG8

For a company, it’s critical to assess and limit what any provider is allowed to do and I would have expected Airbnb and Yelp to draw the line at metadata as opposed to content. Even if Sift promises to be careful, the data is still outside of Airbnb’s control
I agree with the first part of that sentence, but I don't think we have enough information to judge them here—it's all about risk/reward and tradeoffs. Let's say this meaningfully reduces fraud, I think that's probably a pretty reasonable trade off.
I also assume they have pretty strong contractual coverage. Again, I agree with the meta point you're making that you should be ultra sensitive to what data you're giving to third parties, but also think it's hard to make judgement without knowing the specifics.
