Airbnb host thrown in the clink after guest finds hidden camera inside Wi-Fi router

What’s with the hate?

What’s with the hating on AirBnB, guys?

We own and run a couple of holiday lets in major UK city centre. We use AirBnB as just another listings site. Our properties are fully compliant with local regulations - for example, wired and interlinked smoke and heat detectors, fire fighting equipment, and regular gas and electricity inspections, etc. They’re properly insured, and we pay all our taxes.

And yes, we supply WiFi - but with enterprise grade kit. It’s WPA protected, with a captive portal to force acceptance of simple Ts and Cs. And, all connecting clients are segregated and have bandwidth limitations for QoS.

And no, we don’t have any cameras installed.

Not everyone is a crook.
