Names Can Help Find Negative Info

Timeline
May 25: Maksym showed-up for stay to July 8, 1 month pre-paid
June 24: Airbnb’s attempt to collect balance due “did not succeed”
July 8: Cory texts Maksym: reservation over, power to be cut off
Maksym replies: “I’m legally occupying the condo and that loss of
electricity would affect my livelihood”, threatens to press charges.
Aug 21: Legal eviction process, expedited by press coverage, finally removes
Maksym from the condo.

Could Airbnb have predicted trouble?

+ + + ?
Kickstarter is not something that Maksym could have opted-in, but if it were,
Cory might have seen
‘Kickstarter: Last Update: Feb 28; Release Goal: June’
and either decided to request full payment in advance or simply walked away.
Alternatively, Airbnb could have performed automated background monitoring
of Kickstarter’s public information, comparing the names from only the due
projects, which might have lowered the Trust Score sufficiently to trigger
action.

Names + Context
“People have also found out that they've got a few Twitter, Steam, Amazon, etc. accounts and at least one other personal website under different names but all registered to Pashanin. Presumably, set ups for other scams. Stay away from Dennis, Denis, Denys LOGAN, and other derivations of Maxim, Maksym, Maksim etc.” - Kickstarter backer Chris Chen (Aug 1)
But sometimes the names alone are insufficiently discriminative, i.e. there’s ambiguity, and our sources are unstructured.

Don’t we have a Terry coming to stay?

Yes, but is it that Terry Embree?

Is Monitoring Creepier than Terry?
If people are opting-in their information, not really.
Even if they’re not, is it any more creepy than a host Googling their guest?
Ideally, sharing services would know your customer for you, right?

Challenges
Information can enable discrimination:Terry looks guilty, but it’s just one reportHBS study of observed price differentials
What to show or leave to users vs. what T&S collects and acts on?How to explain decisions given background?How to allow users to customize their trust experience, if at all?
![Page 32: Gregor Stewart, LT-Accelerate - Identity Resolution for the Sharing Economy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a180c01a28abf2098b46db/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Questions?
How do these capabilities (name matching, entity linking) work?What about within-app star ratings?What about endorsements from other people who trust you?User Experience (UX)-wise what should be seen by users vs by the App?What about regulation? Don’t laws differ for people v. businesses?
