Sounds very Jackson Pollock.
> There are a lot of privacy concerns, which is fair. But I don't see that privacy concern in public areas any worse than mobile phones.
This directly contradicts your earlier point about being able to see things you couldn't before.
- freehunter 8y agoI think the idea is that anything in public can be photographed at any time by any one. If you're out in public, someone could photograph you with a cell phone from the street, from a building, from a helicopter, etc. Drones don't change that equation in the slightest. What drone photography does change is how easy it is to photograph angles that were difficult before, not the fact that it's possible. Which is the same for mobile phones. Since the invention of the camera, it's always been possible to photograph anything anyone anywhere. Camera phones just made it easier, since now nearly everyone has a camera. But that doesn't mean it wasn't possible before, or that you have less privacy in public places. You've never had privacy in public places.
- isostatic 8y agoOf course they do. My yard has a 6' fence, no houses overlook it, it's therefore private. A drone changes that.
- freehunter 8y agoI guess you missed the part where everyone was repeatedly saying "public space".
