Re: will only affect honest hosts

It still probably helps reduce surveillance a fair bit:

- honest host who currently disclosed cameras will stop

- dishonest hosts who are worried about getting caught will stop (most aren’t tech savvy enough to hide cameras, catching them isn’t hard, and they don’t want to risk getting kicked off platform)

- really dishonest hosts who hide cameras will get kicked off platform if caught (and potential civil/criminal cases)

Not perfect but a good move and should help.

A host can’t complain about you breaking the camera if they didn’t say there’s one there.

cctv cameras in non public places and with no oversight (including video doorbells etc) are a cancer on society
