On: SEC charges Robinhood $65M for misleading customers about revenue sources

I mean laws that existed at the time AirBnB was started, which you seem to imply in your comment. I still think it's strange that the government can tell you how long of a duration you have to rent your property for, but it definitely is the law now.

Yeah because taxes surely didn't exist before AirBnb started.

Laws on short-term rentals, hotel zoning, etc. were all in existence long before AirBnB.

Many AirBnB listings were violating laws from the very start. The platform didn't invent a new type of violation, it just made them a lot more common.

New York's Multiple Dwelling Law is probably a canonical example.
