Online rental platform Airbnb is introducing a worldwide ban on indoor security cameras. Â
It says it's updating its policy after consultation with guests, hosts and privacy experts.Â
Outdoor security cameras and those in common areas, like on doorbells, are still permitted, but hosts will have to disclose their location on the property's listing.Â
Privacy lawyer Kathryn Dalziel told Mike Hosking that Airbnb has come under fire recently, with guests posting about finding cameras in their accommodation. Â
She thinks Airbnb's realising its brand is being affected by this negativity, particularly by people who aren't telling people they're recording or filming.Â
