I mean, Chinese electronics are everywhere. What's the specific threat here? I doubt DJI can easily exfiltrate HD video streams directly off of these drones. I'd be more concerned about their apps, cloud stuff and similar.
Instead of banning the communist hardware they could require open standards/access for interfaces, firmware and so on. Then again, sharing code does smell a bit like communism too. So let's better err on the side of freedom and ban everything.
- rasz 3y ago>specific threat here? cloud based, calling home, telemetry, video/radio surveillance, logistics exfiltration. Pretty much same arguments as in case of Chinese port cranes sending video feeds of sensitive shipments/port operations back to China, except on a global scale with high margin of deployments in security scenarios (police/fire/rescue/inspection/military). One example is current Ukrainian situation. China gets a feed of who/where/how/what and how successful from supposedly civilian hardware.
- jijijijij 3y agoUkraine has their own firmware and apps for these drones. Which is exactly how to find a compromise with the situation.
