Airbnb Bans Indoor Security Cameras

Starting at the end of April, Airbnb will no longer allow hosts to have security cameras inside their rental properties, emphasizing a commitment to guest privacy. Hosts must remove indoor cameras and disclose outdoor monitoring tech to guests before booking, a reversal of Airbnb's previous policies allowing cameras in common areas like hallways and living rooms. The change follows concerns about hidden cameras violating guest privacy, prompting Airbnb to investigate and penalize violators.
