Airbnb bans the use of indoor security cameras


Airbnb is banning the use of indoor security cameras in listings globally, the short-term rental platform announced Monday.

Previously, Airbnb ( ABNB) allowed hosts to have indoor security cameras in common areas as long as the devices were clearly disclosed on the listing page and placed in visible spots in the home. The update announced Monday clarifies that indoor security cameras are now prohibited in any listing, regardless of their location, purpose or prior disclosure. The company emphasized that the majority of listings on Airbnb currently do not report having a security camera, meaning the policy update should only impact a small subset of hosts.
