It's unsettling how contacting the police is not even mentioned. I'm assuming Ireland has laws that make covertly recording someone in their room illegal. The owner shouldn't be delisted from AirBnB - he should be in jail.
We shouldn't be relying on corporations for law-enforcement.
- lotu 8y agoFrom the article: > Aoife Mullen, communications manager for Ireland's Data Protection Commission, told CNN that the commission was "aware of the issue," adding, "we will be seeking further information from Airbnb on the matter." It appears that authorities were contacted and will investigate. I would guess this is more a civil case rather than a criminal case though. Still might result it jail time but probably doesn't require sending police out to find and arrest the host right away.

A quick search turned up https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/hidden-shower-camera-leads-to-firing-arrest-of-georgia-equipment-manager/ https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/hidden-showe... - it's in the US, but still, looks much more criminal than civil to me. Hackers have been jailed for far less.
