- Legal exposure: Criminal complaints filed in the Netherlands accuse platforms of money laundering from war crimes proceeds
- Consumer power: Travellers can easily switch to ethical platforms that do not list settlement properties
- Action: Use ethical booking alternatives, report settlement listings, engage platforms on policy compliance
