"Airbnb Implements Strict Ban on Indoor Security Cameras to Address Privacy Concerns"

Airbnb has banned the use of indoor security cameras at its properties worldwide, citing privacy concerns and a desire to prioritize the privacy of its community. The decision comes after consultation with guests, hosts, and privacy experts, and aims to simplify the policy on security cameras. While hosts can still use doorbell cameras and noise decibel monitors, they must disclose the presence and location of outdoor cameras before accepting bookings, and outdoor cameras cannot monitor indoor spaces or be installed in areas with a greater expectation of privacy. The revised policy will take effect from April 30.
