Is Airbnb's welcome house safe?

The house visited by Airbnb is not very safe, and the news reported many incidents of Airbnb peeping at the door.

During May Day, some netizens said that when they checked in an Airbnb hotel in Qingdao, Shandong Province, they found a camera and a memory card hidden in the wireless router, and the shooting direction was facing the bedroom.

Later, it was verified. Since 2065438+March 2009, the owner of the hotel involved has been installing pinhole cameras in the room to shoot private videos of others. At present, the landlord involved has been administratively detained for 20 days and fined 500 yuan. After consulting the information, I found that in recent years, Airbnb's homestay listings have been exposed to many "sneak shots".

The "sneak shot" incident has had a great impact on public psychology and the trust of the platform. If we don't formulate new laws that conform to the characteristics of B&B * * enjoyment mode, B&B * * enjoyment platform will always face the compliance problems of owners and platforms, which may affect the long-term healthy development of B&B platform.

In April this year, a couple in California found a hidden camera disguised as a smoke detector in Airbnb apartment. Also in April this year, the Bucks from New Zealand discovered a hidden camera, which was being broadcast live on Airbnb.

20/kloc-in September, 2008, a couple on holiday in Scotland found an alarm clock with a camera in Airbnb's room. At the end of 20 18, a couple in Toronto, Canada also found a pinhole camera in the alarm clock of Airbnb's rented house.

In 20 17, Jason Scott, a staff member of American archives, revealed on Twitter that his colleagues had found a "motion detector" on the wall of Airbnb apartment.

After the global "sneak shot" incident, Airbnb said it would launch an investigation, immediately remove the houses involved, permanently remove the landlord account involved, and compensate the tenants.

Hotels can install cameras in public areas such as lobbies or corridors, but it is illegal to install cameras in guest rooms.

Based on this, if it is a full-rent B&B apartment, placing a camera in any area of the room is suspected of infringing the privacy of the tenant; If the tenant lives in an apartment with a landlord, the landlord needs to install cameras in public areas such as the living room and kitchen. You can refer to the regulations of the Ministry of Public Security on the installation of hotel cameras.
