Americans are gearing up to celebrate the summer holidays — with some celebrating with more than just a barbecue.
Now, Airbnb is looking to crack down on those who may be thinking of throwing “disruptive” parties this summer.
The booking site announced it will be rolling out “anti-party technology” during Memorial Day and Fourth of July weekends, according to a company press release.

“Our anti-party technology is designed to help identify and prevent certain attempts to book one-to-two-night stays in entire home listings that could be higher risk for a disruptive party,” said the release.
Airbnb lists different examples of actions that it says would make for a disruptive party with open-invite gatherings.
