I understand the ban, but it’s a shame tech-wise. They are affordable and very high-quality drones, and the hole left in the market will be filled by some sub-par, unnecessarily expensive local brand (see UK after Brexit).
I don’t understand this one.
Tiktok I get, because it is (or at the very least has potential to be) a perpetual spying machine.
This, however, is hardware. Nonessential, luxury hardware, and other than setting the drone up with the app the first time, I use a standalone controller and don’t even need the app anymore. It lacks the ability to phone home. How is this a threat to national security?
Don’t kid yourself, the primary reason for a ban would be to boost US drones. The US is very quick to play the security card when in reality it is nothing more than protectionism.
