"Airbnb Implements Ban on Indoor Security Cameras for Hosts"
TL;DR
Airbnb has announced a global ban on all indoor security cameras in its listings, effective April 30, in an effort to prioritize guest privacy. The company previously allowed indoor security cameras in common areas if disclosed, but the new policy prohibits them entirely. Vrbo also prohibits surveillance devices inside properties, except for disclosed smart devices. The ban has been welcomed by privacy advocates, as hidden cameras have been a concern for renters.
