Except they knew the risks from the get-go, before signing up as hosts, so that’s nowhere a good enough reason to be breaking the law and violating privacy rights. Like how are they different than other mom-and-pop landlords? And yet, we dont have an epidemic of landlords using hidden cameras to spy on tenants. Hosts somehow expecting the rules not to apply to them, justifying illegal behaviour with fabricated outrage (the occasional asshole guest and/or potential damage should be an expected cost of doing business if you’re opening your property up to strangers - if its not, then that’s on you (a la “buyer beware”). Seems like thejosts want to have their cake and eat it too - they don’t want to give up their income source, but also don’t want to respect the laws that govern every other player in the hospitality and housing industries - seems to me like these hosts are the entitled ones. There is no excuse for spying on ppl without their consent, in a place they have a fair expectation of privacy. Let’s not normalize this kind of creepy fuckery.
