This chapter explores the engagement of peer-to-peer accommodation networks in activities not aligning directly with their corporate mission, including corporate social responsibility and activism. While corporate social responsibility aligns with societal values, activism often seeks to change them, thus potentially alienating customers. Yet Airbnb – the internationally leading commercial peer-to-peer accommodation network – is very proactively engaged in political activism, including fighting for marriage equality and against the tightening of US immigration law.

Emma Wong Sing, an American-born citizen, traveled to China in 1913. When she attempted to return to Los Angeles in 1930, she was denied entry on the grounds that she had forfeited her US citizenship by marrying a Chinese citizen. Her determined struggle and the strategic (and successful) handling of her case by attorneys Y. C. Hong and A. Warner Parker illuminate the discriminatory effects of US immigration law toward women, especially toward Chinese women, in the early twentieth century. Her case tested those laws.
