🔗 Airbnb is banning indoor security cameras — theverge.com // Emma Roth
The change comes after numerous reports of guests finding hidden cameras within their rental, leading some vacation-goers to scan their rooms for cameras.
Airbnb’s new policy also introduces new rules for outdoor security cameras, and will now require hosts to disclose their use and locations before guests book a listing. Hosts can’t use […] them in “certain outdoor areas where there’s a great expectation of privacy,” such as an outdoor shower or sauna.
A win in my books.
@maique Crazy, right? I can understand the desire to have a security camera so guests would be less likely to destroy/steal your stuff, but it crosses the line for me. I don’t want indoor cameras in my own home, much less when I’m staying in someone else’s.
