Unfortunately anything open will cost extra, just because of the nature of it. Not to mention the colossal scale of how much product DJI ship, to cut costs somewhere

The reduction of monitoring is worth it. DJI calls home with your location and even provides tools for police to view the location of drones and drone operators in real time.

I am confused then what is Congress' problem here?

Aint this where they are taking us anyway? Or they are worried commie police also getting the same info?

Something that stuck out to me:

The AeroScope signals are not encrypted, despite what we wrote in a previous version of this post — even though DJI and an independent source both told us they were encrypted, and DJI insisted they were when we did a fact-check, DJI now admits that they aren’t encrypted at all. So they could be picked up by other kinds of receivers.

So the verge just took a foreign for profit company at their word, and called it "fact checking"???

Modern investigative journalism everybody!

And who is this independant source? How did they get their info? Did that independant source ALSO just call DJI?
