‘Humiliated’ mom sues Airbnb after ‘grossly inaccurate’ background check leads to ban (www.independent.co.uk)

A Florida mom is suing a company that vets guests for Airbnb after she says she was banned from the short-term rental platform over a pair of past felony convictions that have since been expunged.

The mistake, which the lawsuit argues never should have happened, left the woman unable to take her daughter to a series of potentially lucrative rodeo competitions, and prevented the girl — whose winnings provide the family’s main source of income — from qualifying for the barrel racing national championships.

I agree, but it's not the main point. They may have few options when they can't get their expunged records to go away.

That is true and is honestly a miserable thought.

Imagine having to sue to get a unlawful handling of yourselfes removed. That is terrifying and Not really deserving for the "Land of the Free" at all.
