Bah, if I rent an Airbnb and there are cameras in it, they are free to look at my ****. Have fun losers.
... "Smart Technology"?, and smart tech is def for losers. Apps for every aspect of life, synced data across platforms, faster, more "convenient", blah, blah, blah. It's all a con job. Avoid at all costs.
I think Airbnb should be banned, it's so stupid, leave this stuff up to the hotels and motels. People shouldn't be allowed to put their houses up for rent.
What the hell are you talking about . Air and b.com are my only income currently and I have no idea why you would say such a silly thing. Very often hotels/motels are 10 times worse in every possible way than a well organized and clean apartment. And yes, people that put hidden cams in their apartment should be criminaly prosecuted. Air doesn't allow this afaik and all surveillance equipment must me disclosed upfront, even the ones outside looking at parking etc.
It's just my personal believe that when it comes to housing in general, so not just for vacation, it should be provided by either commercial companies or the government and then I'm talking about the rental market. Obviously, you should be allowed to sell your house.
