So how about the US government. They don't know anything about China's relationship with their businesses and what data was being collected and transmitted to DJI? The Army decided to ban DJI products because someone was guessing that the data was going to the government of China?
The Chinese government does not employ hackers and have never used cyber warefare to their benefit.
What rock are you living under?
I live under a rock where facts matter, where people are skeptical and don't accept things without checking the details.
I get it that there are lots of people that don't like DJI for a variety of reasons (many of which make no sense).
I get it that there are quite a few of them in this forum.
I don't want to waste my time attempting to enlighten them because they don't want to be enlightened and like the comfort their myths give them.
But the US Army is quite a bit more security conscious that the ordinary drone user.
They stated that the reason for their concern was the possibility that DJI equipment
might be subject to cybersecurity issues (particularly the very remote possibility of being hacked and controlled by another pilot.
That's a bunch of things that aren't of any concern to the ordinary flyer.
And that's the market that the Phantom is made for so it's not surprising that when put under the microscope by super-cautious defence people, that they could find potential vulnerabilities.
But that doesn't mean that DJI drones are spying on their users - just that the Army was concerned about possible issues.
It means nothing to regular users.
And has nothing to do with the OP's initial comments.
Do you happen to work for DJI?
No ... I just happen to use their equipment and understand how it works
