Project Lighthouse If you leave this setting turned on, you’re helping us identify and prevent discrimination from happening on Airbnb—and you’re taking part in an initiative to better understand how and where discrimination happens on platforms like ours. If you turn this setting off, we won’t use your information, and we’ll remove it from future studies. You can change your mind at any time. The bit about being opted in was hidden towards the bottom of the email. Feels wrong.
