in common areas if they were disclosed
to guests and clearly visible. .

simplifies our approach and makes clear
that security cameras are not allowed
inside listings, regardless of their
location, purpose or prior disclosure, Airbnb, via announcement.

Oversight Project welcomed the ban,
which takes effect globally on April 30.
No one should have to worry about
being recorded in a rental, whether the
bedroom, the living room, or a hall, Albert Fox Cahn, executive director of The Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, via statement.
Getting rid of these cameras is a
clear win for privacy and safety,
and we know that these recording
devices are ripe for abuse, Albert Fox Cahn, executive director of The Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, via statement.
Airbnb's revised policy will also prohibit outdoor cameras in places "where there's a greater expectation of privacy," like a sauna. .
