Oh you can go into the slack groups or mod forums for PLENTY of lists of privacy violations, "calling home", violations of GPLs, etc. Many don't like owning a company's products that do that. I can tell you that there are now multiple federal agencies not only prohibited from using DJI products, but the batteries literally have to be taken out - for good reason. Also, let me be clear about the "ongoing review" - there were multiple studies done which were cause for this action. It's not going away anytime soon. DJI products were used for various reasons, contractors and otherwise - not necessarily for battlefield use. Other federal agencies (like NASA) - same.
"calling home" - Lots of stuff does that. The issue is not the act, it's the data transmitted. The question is what is being transmitted.
"violations of GPL" - This is a straw man.
"Many don't like owning a company's [sic] products that do that" - Again, straw man.
"there were multiple studies done" - Point me to their conclusions.
"Other federal agencies (like NASA)" - Joe Blow consumer is not working on matters as sensitive as NASA or the military in his basement.
I understand why the military, or other federal agencies working on sensitive things would have pause. The average consumer, not so much yet. I say let's get the full picture before running around screaming fire. |
