    This is honestly ridiculous. The security concerns are unwarranted. Any surveillance that these drones could accomplish if hacked can just be bought off of any GIS website.

    “But military bases” go fly a drone by one and see what happens. This already isn’t a surveillance concern.

    This is going to set the hobbyist and professional drone market back a decade.

      Idk if you vastly overestimate the available data on GIS or underestimate the data which can be obtained by drones.

      Also, DJI has 70% of the global drone market share, so banning this company might actually help innovation.
