"Airbnb Prohibits Indoor Security Cameras in Host Homes"

Airbnb is banning the use of indoor security cameras in its guest homes globally, effective April 30, in an effort to prioritize privacy and simplify its policy on security cameras and other devices. The company had previously allowed indoor security cameras in common areas if they were disclosed in listings, but complaints about hidden cameras prompted the change. Outdoor security camera rules will also be tightened, with hosts required to disclose their locations, while doorbell cameras and noise decibel monitors will still be permitted for home security and party detection.
