I recall seeing a post about how Sweden had banned "buying sex", but allowed "selling sex", as a way of avoiding harming women.

For women who do want to sell sex, this ends up with some bad consequences. https://www.reddit.com/r/SexWorkers/comments/n11oqk/the_ongo...

Sounds like if you ban the sex workers, the pimps and punters will have nothing to do at the airbnb so its effectively the same?

The article isn't really about banning the use of Airbnbs for sex work. It's about banning people who do that work from using any Airbnb at all, for any purpose.

Not all prostitutes have pimps, especially in this digital age.

And how did we end up with Schrödingers Hooker who is both poor oppressed victim and empowered "Yass Queen" sex worker?

Also, it's not at all unreasonable for people to not want their property used as a brothel.
