OK, so a new scenario:
You buy a small drone for fun. Next, you need to register it, then take some online test periodically, then pay yearly insurance fee, later you'll be required for the drone to register with a mobile network to track its use. All for a thing you might use 2-3 times a year on average. If you managed to buy a DJI drone, it might be confiscated upon entering the US. I'd say it's over for this hobby as well as for drone manufacturers.

- bitL 6y agoDJI is on some US government blacklist and it's a question how the situation develops next year.
- kube-system 6y agoDJI is on the "Entity List", which means that US companies are required to have a license to export certain controlled export items to them. It doesn't ban anyone from buying or possessing DJI products.
- bitL 6y agoBeing on the entity list right now is a pretty large warning sign, and an indicator that things might escalate further, right?
