Airbnb Bans All Indoor Security Cameras

Airbnb announced a global ban on indoor security cameras in short-term rentals effective April 30, requiring hosts to remove them and disclose any outdoor cameras or noise-monitoring devices before booking, with violations potentially resulting in listing or account removal; the policy aims to address guest privacy concerns amid reports of hidden cameras, adds restrictions on outdoor camera placement (including prohibiting monitoring of indoor spaces and private outdoor areas like showers and saunas), and complements ongoing anti-party measures.
