Ep.10 - Airbnb, the night of techno-finance

Nowadays, the Californian company is losing control of its own narrative, as it finds itself at the center of controversy, fines, and tax issues as well as being accused of transforming neighborhoods and emptying city centers. A new wind is blowing, and the app giants are finding it harder to continue playing the part of the “good guys”.
