I guess privacy, confidence and trust are rather antiquated notions. I'm showing my age.If you think that the Chinese government is interested in where you fly and what you film ......
That would have to be the most illogical spying conspiracy I could imagine.
What tiny fraction of the material they would have to wade through would be of any value at all?
The FAA, FBI, Chinese government and any martians that might be listening in are welcome to whatever info they can glean from my flight records.
No, I don't partake And I agree satellites can do a lot. We have the ability to provide one more dimension and even supply the vulnerability of a given target at a given time. I know, paranoid. But never discount the amount of information we make available to those who desire to use it for whatever purpose, good or bad. I grew up in the cold war period. We can laugh at the movies of students ducking under their desks during bomb drills, but people did die and suffer tremendous repression. It can happen again . . . even as enlightened as we all want to believe we are.They do not need our drone footage to spy. I have it on good authority that current satellite systems can read the small embossed brand printed on the cigarette you are smoking (if you partake).
It looks to me like most Americans don't care either . . . probably for the same reason.The story is about Chinese people only, this does not affect the rest of the world (yet). The Chinese probably don't think twice about this as every aspect of their lives is controlled by the government.
There is nothing against you using a phone or tablet that contain zero true personal dataI'd say 90% of the people that update do not read the update they just except the terms and go fly . DJI is not the only company doing things like this any app that you install go read what some of them want access to pretty much all your personal info/data there agin most do not read that. Some stores can track your phone and know what your looking at they say to send you coupons . We are in a info collecting age now .
I doubt the Chinese government cares where you live. I'd imagine they could sift through any image data by gps location they want. I'm not a fan of entrusting my privacy to even Apple, let alone my national security to the Chinese government.There is nothing against you using a phone or tablet that contain zero true personal data
