How is a Chinese company spying on you going to affect your daily life?

  Depends. The Chinese government kidnaps their own citizens in the US and have been known to torture relatives of whistle blowers that live abroad. https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/03/29/the-disappeared-china-renditions-kidnapping/ https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/03/29/the-disappeared-china-r... So if you were one of these people and some jamoke was flying one of these drones around your area I'd imagine that would have a profoundly negative effect on your psyche. Which is one of the reasons I'd never fly a DJI drone. I'd expect there's a potential that the drone is feeding back track and positioning data w\ imagery to a "service".

    That's a bit extreme example for high value targets, a hasty generalization fallacy. Imagine a regular US Joe - how is that going to affect them? Now imagine when a US corp will irreversibly shut down your account based on what you wrote on your Android phone on Reddit because some dodgy ML flagged you - which one has a higher probability to happen? A Chinese hit squad or automated ban from a "friendly" US corp?
