Has the Department asked Airbnb for the data we want? While there is no statutory requirement to give it the Department, the Department could be quite persuasive and tell Airbnb that it cannot have an MOU if it is not willing to provide data that are essential for understanding it. The Department should do it because Airbnb does not want reputational damage and it could say it will not continue the conversation until it gives the data that will allow the Department to make reasonable policy recommendations to Government.
