AirBnB Bans Security Cameras Inside Rental Properties

Airbnb says it is introducing a worldwide ban on the use of security cameras inside rental properties.

The changes to the company’s policy will come into effect at the end of next month.

The online rental platform says the move aims to simplify its rules on security cameras and prioritise the privacy of guests.

Airbnb users have previously voiced concerns about the use of indoor surveillance cameras.

Airbnb’s Head of Community Policy and Partnerships, Juniper Downs, said in a statement said the changes were made in consultation with their guests, hosts and privacy experts.

Downs says they’ll continue to seek feedback to help ensure our policies work for our global community.
