Taking over drones owned by hobbyists.

There seems to be a onslaught of positive DJI YouTube videos about how creating a user account is great and easy. Including fake comments praising DJI. Just search on YT DJI Mavic Pro setup.

All this is too suspicious for me. I returned the drone for obvious reasons but millions of people are already buying into the ecosystem.

We're way past the point of no return with all of this.

At some point you just have to accept the new normal. Some of this should be handled by national security teams but I am unsure where we stand (US).

I'm surprised Lithuania of all places takes a firm stand on Chinese phones, meanwhile the US seems to be spinning its wheels. I am not sure what is going on behind closed doors.


Lithuania let Taiwan call its interests section an embassy or something and China is pissed so they were probably expecting blowback


I’m not sure if I agree with defeatist attitude. I’d do whatever I can. But, I do agree that this needs to be taken care of at the legislation / national security level and citizens shouldn’t have to.
