Why are HN so keen on defending drones? Serious question. Is there any altruistic reason or do hackers just like drones? What about privacy issues? Drones seem much more intrusive than the CCTVs people here normally are against.

Just read through the comments here alone, we have folks talking about regulations didn’t exist (they do), that licensing/testing isn’t required (it is, for the categories generally needing it), thinking a palm sized drone endangers their life (it doesn’t, unless they were being stupid), that commercials drones weigh 150lbs (almost none are remotely even close, 99% are under 25lbs, 99.9% are under 50lbs), etc etc.
