CONSIDER: Option in user PROFILE to link SOCIAL MEDIA account

[NanKrafft]

This can be used to facilitate individual vetting.

Do we need copy re discrimination?

Let's say a visitor links their social media account and then contacts a host. What will we put about the visitor in the email to the host? A Facebook profile page can look pretty bare when you don't know the person. For example here's mine: https://www.facebook.com/dsjoerg

If you are undecided about this I would lean towards leaving it out in the name of simplicity & reducing friction by offering fewer options, choices and buttons.

Linked to Host on "Host Near..." page

Traveler has ability to quickly view hosts FB profile (see if they are real) before contacting them. Opt in.

Optional for Host to share FB profile.

@NanKrafft do you consider this issue ready for a developer to start working on it, or would you like to consider it further / specify it further? there are some unanswered questions about how this should work but we could leave it to the developer's discretion if you like.

Also would you like the host to be able to see the same kind of social media information about their visitor?
