“#Airbnb exec quit over concerns it shared too much data with China<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The former chief trust officer of Airbnb was so concerned about how much user data the internet behemoth was sharing with China, he resigned from his post last year after just six months on the job.<\/p>\n

Sean Joyce, Airbnb\u2019s former chief trust officer \u2014 also a former deputy director with the FBI \u2014 reportedly resigned last year over concerns about how much user data the company was sharing with China.<\/p>\n

Joyce was hired as the company\u2019s first chief trust officer in May of 2019 to help protect users\u2019 safety on the platform \u2014 but he abruptly resigned from his executive position after just six months on the job \u201cover concerns about how the massive rental platform shares data on millions of its users with Chinese authorities,\u201d sources told The Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoyce grew alarmed during his tenure that the company wasn\u2019t being fully transparent about the data it shares with the ruling Chinese Communist Party government, including for Americans travel<\/a>ing in the country,\u201d sources said, according to the paper. \u201cHe also was concerned about what he viewed as Airbnb\u2019s willingness to consider more expansive data requests from China.\u201d<\/p>\n

Airbnb, which filed to go public this week and, in that filing, admitted its \u201cability to continue doing business in China is a risk factor for its brand and profitability,\u201d claims it has always been transparent about its information sharing with Chinese authorities.<\/p>\n

However, Joyce felt most people didn\u2019t know how much data was being shared which included, according the WSJ, \u201cphone numbers, email addresses and messages between users and the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to being transparent with our community, and clearly disclose our data policies to all of our hosts and guests by displaying a clear message to users when they are on the platform and through multiple other notifications,\u201d Nick Papas, a spokesman for Airbnb, told the paper.<\/p>\n

When reached for comment, Joyce told the WSJ \u201che had a \u2018difference in values\u2019 with Airbnb\u201d and declined any further comment.<\/p>\n

According to the paper, Chinese officials asked for more data in the summer of last year \u2014 specifically requesting \u201creal-time data\u201d which would alert them to when someone first books a property. This alarmed Joyce, who \u201cworried such data-sharing would enable Chinese government surveillance and put members of minority ethnic groups such as repressed Muslim-majority Uighurs at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joyce raised the alarm with Chief Executive Brian Chesky and co-founder Nathan Blecharczyk, who leads Airbnb\u2019s China unit, to which Blecharczyk reportedly said,\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re not here to promote American values\u201d \u2014 prompting Joyce to resign.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
