That secret rager you were hoping to throw on New Year’s Eve? Don’t think you can book the party house on Airbnb.

@byandreachang reports: latimes.com/business/techn…
Airbnb has clamped down on listings in an effort to prevent large gatherings.

That includes instituting a ban on all parties and events until further notice and restricting users under 25 from booking entire homes in the areas where they live. latimes.com/business/techn…
Airbnb has implemented “high-risk detection systems” that flag potentially problematic reservations — such as bookings made for large groups — for manual review. latimes.com/business/techn…
The technology looks at attributes including the duration of a user’s stay, whether he or she has a history of positive reviews, the size of the listing, and the number of nights of the reservation.

What do hospitals in Los Angeles County look like on Christmas? Conditions are pretty dire.

The latest, from @ronlin @LukeMMoney @skarlamangla
