Airbnb Inc. Chief Executive Officer Brian Chesky says he is "absolutely” willing to share information on dangerous listings with rival short-term rental providers in order to help protect users from violent crime.

In an interview on Bloomberg TV Tuesday, Chesky said Airbnb was already liaising with other platforms about party house listings, but that the companies could "of course go further” to include properties they’ve deemed to be dangerous.
