This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the quiet Hill Country town of Comfort, Texas, Airbnb host A. Jay Allee welcomed guests to a rural retreat.
The case is part of an ongoing debate about the appropriateness of cameras at short-term rentals, which include rooms and homes listed on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com.
Last year, before the ban, some hosts told Business Insider that they needed cameras for their own security and reassurance that their property wasn’t being damaged.
Some travelers, however, posted on social media that they feared hosts skirting rules to invade their privacy — even though, at that time, all security cameras had to be disclosed in the listings.
“When we do receive an allegation, we take appropriate, swift action, which can include removing hosts and listings that violate the policy,” an Airbnb spokesperson said in a statement to Business Insider.
David Wyzynajtys, who stayed at Allee’s property in July 2021, told CNN that discovering the cameras inside the home was the “scariest moment” of his life.

“Images”
Yeah, right. That’s what you record with a camera. Videos don’t even exist, right? This kind of journalism should be deemed as a crime.

How is that not a felony?
Why would it be?
Legally it’s akin to staying at a friend’s house not a business
That’s how they skirt by any other restriction
You pay you friend rental and cleaning fees when you stay over?
And they record you while you stay?
You need some better friends dawg
And ubers are just friends giving you a ride
Not sure what I have to do with this though
