Since some lobbyist s have pushed for this band so that they could potentially sell their own products DJI knew it was inevitable and opened these shell company so that they could build and sell drones within the United States. I'm sorry but the United States and those who are in power are incompetent to realize that the rest of the world uses products from China and they don't have a problem with it yet for some reason we have a problem with it. I don't use drone yet a lot of people do as well as government agencies. Reply

While part of me agrees with you—and I sometimes feel as if our personal info and activities are being argued over in terms of who gets to spy on us first (flock cameras, fusion centers, etc.) as citizens—I also agree that a lot of people making rules for “the people” stand to make handsome financial gains. Part of me also feels your whole thought process is glazing over details that might make this legislation legitimate. Most other countries aren’t as big of an espionage target, both industrially and in terms of national security. I mean, let’s not forget they flew balloons over the country to surveil our facilities. Remember: little pieces can be aggregated, and information can be weaponized. However, as I said earlier, it feels odd that politicians would be rabidly pushing so hard on this one issue when there are equivalent real-world shortcomings that need to be addresse kameljoe23 said: I was nearly sure I read an article a long time ago about the shell companies.

I do own and fly 5 DJI drones by the way. kameljoe23 said: Reply
