Is this an airbnb problem or should the customers just accept the fact that they are in a rented room where they owner can be any weird person ?
If airbnb is not taking actions against hosts for whom the problem has been reported, then it is an another thing.
- darby_nine 2y agoReporting? Surely overtly criminal activity is beyond reporting to airbnb.
- alistairSH 2y agoIs it overtly criminal (in the US)? Or are any laws around recording in short-term rentals explicitly for hotels/motels (and Airbnb has a legal loophole)? It definitely should be illegal to record people without consent when they're inside rented accommodation. I'm just not sure it is.
- darby_nine 2y agoIn what context would it be reasonable to film a hotel (or cohotelling or whatever bullshit term they invented to dodge regulations) room without someone's knowledge? This is literal horror story shit. Perhaps people should be angrier at the state rather than the hotel app
- threecheese 2y agoSeems to vary by state in the US; some states allow it with one party consent, and my understanding is that’s where the gray area is - if you are renting part of a home, can the owner consent on the renters behalf. Privacy is not well entrenched in federal law here.
- darby_nine 2y agoIt seems clearly morally wrong, even if the law does not (as usual) reflect the morality of the law's constituents.
