I'd be more concerned about the data that is being collected whilst you are online. Or that your friendly internet speaker or TV is listening to every word you say, that the net connected camera is watching every move you make. Many companies ban the use of USB sticks because of the risk of spreading viruses and other PUPs.
Knowing where my drone has been flying after the event (I always fly in wifi free zones, and do not have a cell connection) would be the least of my worries.
Aardvark, All great points… Most have no real idea about these issues, and worse do not seem to care about it. Here in the states there have been real concerns about the NSA collecting phone metadata on all our calls, are there folks concerned about it, yes. However, not nearly as many and certainly not enough are in an uproar about it. I believe it is because they are ill informed, misinformed, or completely apathetic about the subject. Most of these intrusions on our privacy have happened very quickly and it all came with capabilities that made life better or simpler and most never considered the second & third order of effects that came along with those changes and improvements. A person today should be informed, wise to these issues, and live accordingly if they value their privacy. I just hope we don’t wake up one day to find ourselves in some Orwellian type nightmare. Here’s to freedom and privacy, fly safe! |
