I can see many issues with airbnb saying it's okay to have a camera pointing at bed but I'm trying to connect it with sex trafficking. From the keynote that she linked it's not clear. Obviously recording would be blackmail material but is the idea that airbnb owner would be a trafficker or conspire with traffickers against customer?

Note that the real issue is not lack of refund but deep implications of having cameras like that. Victims of blackmail would not be asking for refund...

OP was just going off a tangent about why cameras are bad, not saying that the AirBnB would use the cameras the blackmail a prostitute/ sex slave.

> Now, am I trying to say that just by sleeping in a room with a camera I would be pulled into some sort of underground human trafficking ring? No.
