Same exact situation as a decade ago when EU decided to outright ban every Chinese-imported solar panel. Guess why they did that? Because they were "too cheap" so local EU solar companies couldnt compete.. We could have had our entire cities caked in affordable solar panels by now. But profits were more important than energy (or the environment).

DJI could make a removable Wi-Fi hardware module. Maybe it could be a USB serial device that could be replaced with a drone id module built by a third party? That might give some credence to DJI's claim that you don't have to allow the drone to get online.... How about allowing us to register our drone online from a library computer without having the drone with us? Write down your registration number, drive to the library, input your number to the DJI website and give me a code. Let me input my code into my drone with one push button and Morse code. Don't make updates mandatory. Let me install them with a memory card. Give me a file, and let me do it myself.

The map of restricted geo zones is in the drone's memory. It doesn't need a real-time data link. Even if you don't own a drone yet you can get the DJI Fly app and check out the map showing the red, restricted zones (prisons, airports etc.), the blue 'authorization' zones (permission needed - okay, yes, an internet connection IS needed to get a three day 'license' to unlock these areas.) Another commenter noticed that a 30 day timer seems to disable the remote controller, requiring you to 'phone home' (connect to DJI's servers) but I don't remember it needing to do that before 'Remote ID' was implemented.. Anyone? So yes, you and others caught a few things Billy might have missed. DJI will fully unlock their drones for government agencies (but I didn't tell you that ;)

@billykyle The bad thing is like you said, the American built drones are STRICTLY for recreational use, they are indeed too toylike. I bought one at Toys R Us (back when it was open) when I wanted to learn and teach myself how to fly a drone. As I got more serious about drones, I bought a Yuneec Q500 4K (another company based in China). And as I got more into drones, the name DJI kept popping up. After research and seeing the camera quality, I decided to get one from DJI. And it's awesome!! It's a shame that these claims are most likely from an agenda to lodge the company from dominance in the market. But I thought this is America, where free market is king. American companies need to up their game, to create bigger and better drones for professionals, prosumers and recreational users. It will be interesting to see what happens today.

It is all politics for promoting the comprehensive have no technological excellence and can't find away to win the market. I wouldn't trustSkydio. I called them a year ago to find d their pricing plan and it took such a long time to get the details. And in few month they dropped their consumer drone line. How can we trust Skydio on the long-time support. On the other hand DJI is coming out with the newer software and hardware every year. I think there should a legal way to challenge this bill. The public representative should be more transparent to the people who they represent and not to the comprehensive funded their elections. It is just disgusting and disappointing on the pub!if representative who are sitting in for us. I am with DJI and I hope everything goes right way at the end.

What are the claims though? That DJI shares your email adress or your flight logs? That really wouldnt be very useful, apart from showing squiggly lines concentrated over tourist areas on the map. The real thing that is being insinuated to scare people, is the fantasy of "omg DJI tracks everything the camera records and sends back to CCCP in realtime". Because that's the one thing that would ACTUALLY matter, right? That is, physically impossible, by the laws of electromagnetism... Are these people actually thinking that the drone or controller radio transmitter is powerful enough to connect to a satellite in orbit for a 1080p realtime video feed? Or are they actually living in the fantasy of thinking every consumer DJI drone has a secret quantum-tunneling device installed that relays back video footage directly to China via quantum entanglement? I mean can we just openly talk about this? Because if we openly talk about this, you realize how batshit insane the claims are. Thats why the push on this has been so vague to just say "data security concerns". "The Chynese are SPYIN on us". Okay, how exactly? Tell me how it specifically would work. If you actaully ask how it would physically happen, the whole fantasy falls apart.
