Housing has become an essential commodity in the global economy, specifically within platform economies, as is clear in cases such as AirBnB. Platforms both contribute to and benefit from the precarious housing situation worldwide, as digital platform technologies accelerate the financialisation of housing on all scales, as property – from whole real-estate portfolios to single apartments – are rented and sold in an automated way. Rather, in a supposedly automated way: when Facebook allowed ‘redlining’, it effectively excluded people from some neighbourhoods by not allowing them to see rental ads in places where they were not welcome. Platforms are not neutral or "just" utilities. With property technology and its investment market aggressing existing housing landscapes, this development is "likely to serve the interests of people and places already benefiting from property-led accumulation, undermining the interests of property-less subjects and marginalised places."[1]
