I don’t know if you saw the closed thread that included quite a bit of back and forth about the topic of camera use but this “new” policy was posted there as well.
"Caught a Guest Red-handed with Camera!
The section titled “Details guests must know about your home” isn’t that new but the part about the cameras is. I guess they are having some problems. I’d be curious to know if it’s in response to the recent stories in the new about Airbnb hosts spying on their guests. As Como pointed out on the that thread there are a lot of things that can act as surveillance devices in a home. Am I going to put that I have a smartphone and it’s located in my pocket? How about weapons in the home? As one of my favs Ani diFranco sang…every tool is a weapon if you hold it right. I think under weapons in home I’m going to check yes and then write. “I keep a chainsaw under my bed.”
