Airbnb hidden cameras

A CNN investigation has found that Airbnb, one of the world's largest short-term rental companies, consistently fails to protect its guests despite knowing that hidden cameras are a persistent concern within its industry. Thousands of images have been recovered from rental hosts by law enforcement. Hidden cameras placed in bedrooms and bathrooms show guests during their most private moments — changing clothes, being with their children, even having sex — according to CNN's review of court and police records as well as interviews with guests who found surveillance devices in rental properties or were told by police they had been secretly recorded. In a statement to CNN, an Airbnb spokesperson said hidden camera complaints are rare, but when they do occur "we take appropriate, swift action, which can include removing hosts and listings that violate the policy."
