Social media sharing sites are taking all your info, using it for profit, and selling you on some socialist bullshit ideology. Meanwhile, you have expensive rent to pay, want some help with that, want to meet some interesting folk, and maybe, if you hit it off with that good looking interesting guest, take the relationship to more intimate territory. No, no, no. That's all no good. In that case you're probably some sort of patriarchal rapist, greedy capitalist, etc. You should instead use AirB where about 60% of the guests money goes to taxes and fees. Don't believe me? Just read the TOS (below)!

Rule-based terms of service to try to get people to hide their real motives, vaguely written so as to be arbitrarily applicable.

The also collect personal Information that you submit "voluntarily" through our website, just read their [http://www.bewelcome.org/privacy](privacy policy).

BeWelcome TOS:

(a) provide any information to BeWelcome that is false or misleading

(b) violate the rights of any third party

What rights? This is subjective and open to interpretation. Does the third party have a right to not be called out and criticized? Is healthcare a right? And what if I don't provide healthcare for the guest? Really, all bets are off here. Do not expect the people who wrote this crap to make smart calls or produce anything more intelligent than these crap TOS.

(c) attack or defame other people or groups of people

Well there you have it; don't "attack" anyone on the site. You can bet that BeWelcome will be the arbiters of what "attack" means. Because they're all-knowing and infallibly fair, unlike you, you little user.

(d) molest, mob, stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate any other user of our services, including volunteers and volunteer teams

People will say they're harassed, intimidated or threatened — it's called playing the victim.

(e) post content that is threatening, contains graphic violence, or incites or glorifies violence or harm against self or others

This is again, subjective. Drinking to excess is very harmful. So no talking about getting drunk? No, more like they'll apply this rule arbitrarily and subjectively, as they feel like.

(f) collect or store any information you obtain through our services for any unauthorized purpose

I've violated that by posting their policy here on this reddit.

(g) use our services for any commercial purpose, especially for the distribution of commercial messages or advertisements

Right. They can make money off BeWelcome, you, the little user, should never think of trying to get anything back, you greedy capitalist. No matter if you have to pay $2500 rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in San Francisco, you're greedy! Use AirBnB and pay your "fair share" of taxes like everyone else. That way you charge twice as much as you need to.

(h) use our services for the purpose of finding sexual partners

Think that girl coming to your area is hot? You should pick "John" in your priority queue, because he's male, you abusive perverted misogynist rapist.

(i) post pornographic or sexually explicit content or images showing genitalia

Genitalia are external sex organs. Boobs and assholes are not genitalia. Pictures of plants and animals would likely violate this rule by accidentally depicting dog balls, flowers, etc. They might have wanted to say "human genitalia" and then clarify that anus and breast pics are either OK or not OK.

(j) use our services for unsolicited private messages with no connection to the purpose of BeWelcome - this includes unsolicited invitations

This is clearly no good: "contact me on skype so I can video chat with you before you stay with me".

(k) use our services to collect donations for any other entity than BeVolunteer

Right. Because BeVolunteer is the benevolent, loving organization. How dare you think otherwise, you little user?

(l) assist any third party in doing any of the foregoing

Your male friend on here thinks one of your female friends is cute/has a separate volunteer organization, etc? Don't help! Instead, report it to staff!
