One of Airbnb’s taglines is “Belong Anywhere.” Perhaps they could update it to it “Be Watched Anywhere,” if instances of hosts secretly filming their renters continues. The latest: Archivist Jason Scott tweeted that his colleague found a hidden camera in the bedroom of an Airbnb he was renting, the New York Post reported.

The camera looked like a motion detector, but turned out to be a hidden camera hooked up to the internet. The guest left in the middle of the night and reported the incident to Airbnb, who refunded the money and banned the host permanently.
