DJI BAN Reversed by the SENATE!!! - UPDATES!!!

[@aaron9811-y1j]

We needed this as a community

[@raybod1775]

DJI drones are so critical in this modern world in law enforcement, farming, surveying, search and rescue, remote inspections, etc. Drones can’t fly over restricted area, this ban is about benefitting a particular business that’s unable to compete.

[@Avensur]

That is great news 👏. One step at a time,,,a big leap in the industrial development.👍

[@FPVREVIEWS]

Obviously lawmakers have their evil little beady eyes and sticky slimy fingers on our hobby and livelihoods. It’s not going to end with DJI drama. The song you used recently about rich men north of Richmond Is very appropriate. I’ve had it stuck in my head for days now thanks a lot!!

[@DingleBerryschnapps]

Lmao. You're all over the place. They don't care about our hobby. They are simply watching what's happening in Ukraine, and they don't trust china. The end.

[@ShermanKenB]

The amendment was left off the markup. When it goes to the floor there is potential for amendments and then again in a conference committee. All in all good news but not a done deal yet.

[@steveday2022]

Awesome update! I think all of our efforts to reach out to the "powers" is doing what we had hoped, but we can't let up!

[@DingleBerryschnapps]

Nope. Let's be frank, they don't care what a bunch of drone nerds think that don't even understand geopolitics. This happened because DJI has been stuffing the Democrats pockets with millions of dollars over the last few months, and because the Democrats don't support anything the Republicans do, and vice versa.

@@markmiranda2881 For someone obviously keeping an eye on things that could impact your business, you should care about anyone that can help protect your livelihood.

And the beginning and end of your statement contradict. If nobody cares, then why is it “good stuff”?

[@CloneTechDrones-619]

Congress should take a moment to make a public apology for reacting in such a defensive manner against DJI!!! They should take down their fences, fully understand the drone’s community angle, and apologize over and over for their behavior!! Maybe some Oliver Anthony music in the background during the apology speech.

[@liarspeaksthetruth]

The senate has removed specific mentions of DJI. Now it's just a technical question of whether sensitive data is being transmitted by any drone. All this does is expand the exclusions to a technical assessment, rather than limiting to specific brand(s). Nothing changes other than DJI owners feel better.

[@DBartWest]

Thanks for the update.

[@jimwilliams7136]

I keep wondering if there's a financial issue here. "Get rid of the competition using spying as an excuse."

[@butchbrown5283]

It will just be expanded to include all Chinese manufactured drones.

[@DingleBerryschnapps]

But they could have done that without reversing it, so that's just speculation.

[@TriniWeekes]

[@LenMiDrones_photography]

Nice!🤞

[@dannomight1980]

There could be more sensitive data pulled from our phones more than anything.

Did you just join the conversation? This is obviously not about data collection when they already know they have our data. This is about other things they're just not telling you. 👍

[@yourmanepic]

@@DingleBerryschnapps they want American drone companies to sell more drones even though none of them are anywhere near Dji

Nothing is been collected use a sniffer and you will see nothing downloads unless you have it setup to do so to DJI server which that is not even a thing any longer. Republican paranoia is all this law is about.

[@overmonk]

It's important to understand just how much crap gets packed into the NDAA for political purposes. Every issue a congressman can make a commercial about gets packed into it (so they can say "See? I tried! Money please!"), but those versions are always full of some weird polarizing stuff that one side or the other won't accept in a must-pass-or-no-military type bill. This bill should be about getting our armed forces funded, and it gets all sorts of stuff like this. It was always dead on arrival in the Senate, and any of the 'poison pill' amendments were doomed. Glad to see the DJI ban falls into that category.

[@DingleBerryschnapps]

Right, you're splitting hairs though as far as terminology. Also, this had nothing to do with community outreach. The Democrats were lobbied by DJI. The end.

[@zomituan]

At this point, I don’t really care, if they bane in USA. DJI making so much money from the US and their price are way too much over price, I’m just hoping new company from United state make new drone and make it cheaper. TBH in the reality it’s the safest to have made in USA, business people only care about money but, can’t fully trust other countries especially China, you never now. If you know the politics or more about the government you will never trust China, it’s as same as North Korea, they just know how to hide it.

[@SJMDronesMedia]

I live across the pond, but been watching regular updates reference the proposed bill, without a doubt DJI are the most advanced drone manufacturer in the world, and has made progress to allay any fears of data harvesting, with regards flight log recording data sent back to them, for me it’s all about the potential of all the lost revenue that DJI have made, and unless DJI get a serious competitor from America , this saga will go on and on, let’s all Hope common sense continues to prevail ,. I think our governments think we are all daft and need to remember who put them in office , it’s all about politics,power and greed. I would worry more about our own government’s who track you from birth to death, than DJI I’ve been in the hobby for over 10 yrs , tried other drone manufacturers , but non come close to DJI

I don't fault DJI. It is a great drone. But your video only talked about DJI. Autel makes great drones too, and yes, they are mentioned in this bill. So rather than being laser focused on DJI, honorable mention should have been given to Autel and other Chinese drones, because the real issue is espionage, not the platforms.

[@ianwalton284]

I noticed DJI stock prices went way up since they threatened the ban. I wonder if it was stock market manipulation/insider trading.

[@DingleBerryschnapps]

It went up because they released new products and the Avata 2 has been a huge success.

[@Lolpopi8547]

Or maybe because everyone ran out and bought dji stuff when they threatened to ban them. I certainly bought another dji drone and some air units when I heard the news.

[@robertwestall3456]

It's not bull crap, you just don't understand what's going on. It's not about data collection. Using basic logic you can figure that out. They already know that China has our data.

American defense apartment recently told the senate that it's impossible to not use Huawei's equipment, as this company takes up more than one third of the total communication-related tools and facilities in the world. And the funny thing is that American troops use china-made satellites as a backup plan for GPS, as they think GPS is unstable and will be easily intercepted
