倾斜的平台：租赁住房技术和城市大数据寡头垄断的兴起
Tilted Platforms: Rental Housing Technology and the Rise of Urban Big Data Oligopolies
摘要：
本文解读了关于租赁住房平台的新兴学术研究，特别是最知名和最常用的短期和长期租赁住房平台，并探讨了将短期和长期租赁与平台经济联系起来的技术过程如何改变城市。它讨论了更公平地分配利益和减轻危害的潜在政策方法。我们认为，信息技术不是价值中立的。虽然租赁住房平台可以增强数据分析师和某些市场参与者的能力，但不能对所有用户或整个社会说同样的话。首先，用户生成的在线数据经常重现传统住房信息来源中的系统性偏见。越来越多的证据表明，出租住房平台的信息传播潜力可能会增加而不是减少社会空间不平等。其次，技术平台根据其创造者自己的财务和政治利益来策划和塑造信息。在这些平台上，哪些数据和人被隐藏或边缘化的问题与哪些数据可用的问题同样重要。最后，短期和长期租赁住房平台之间存在的好处和缺点的重要差异，但在文献中未得到充分探讨：本文揭示了这些差异并提出了政策建议。
英文摘要：
This article interprets emerging scholarship on rental housing platforms -- particularly the most well-known and used short- and long-term rental housing platforms - and considers how the technological processes connecting both short-term and long-term rentals to the platform economy are transforming cities. It discusses potential policy approaches to more equitably distribute benefits and mitigate harms. We argue that information technology is not value-neutral. While rental housing platforms may empower data analysts and certain market participants, the same cannot be said for all users or society at large. First, user-generated online data frequently reproduce the systematic biases found in traditional sources of housing information. Evidence is growing that the information broadcasting potential of rental housing platforms may increase rather than mitigate sociospatial inequality. Second, technology platforms curate and shape information according to their creators' own financial and political interests. The question of which data -- and people -- are hidden or marginalized on these platforms is just as important as the question of which data are available. Finally, important differences in benefits and drawbacks exist between short-term and long-term rental housing platforms, but are underexplored in the literature: this article unpacks these differences and proposes policy recommendations.
