First TikTok, then DJI?
Is there a good source explaining how these drones are used in the US by the Chinese govt? Are they sold to consumers, but upload to a China-based cloud? There was zero background in that article.
DJI might get banned next in the US

I’d really love to see a US domestic drone product for consumers. Its kind of sad that there aren’t any options when it comes to premade drones.

I own a Skydio and they were the only ones. Until recently they exited from the consumer space.

Would this disable/prevent use of already purchased drones as well? I’ve considered picking one of these up for the longest time, but now with this potential ban, I’d really want to pick one up, but not if they would be unusable if this passes.

I’ve wanted to pick one up for ages, but when I look into it there’s so many restrictions on where you can fly that I can’t see myself being able to get much use of out.

Unless you live next to an airport or next to a federal building, it’s really not all that restrictive. Only places I haven’t been able to fly were near camp David and a local airport.

Got my hopes up thinking it was the Dow Jones Industrial
