            They’ve decided that their drones shouldn’t care about enforcing legal safeguards like no-fly zones around airports and forest fires.

              To clarify, they are still adhering to the law, their previous geofencig policy was something they did completely voluntarily and not required by law

              That’s on our dumbass government. There are no laws requiring drones themselves to prohibit their operators from flying them in restricted airspace. DJI had that feature on their own accord. Our government just can’t be arsed to do their fucking jobs and make sensible laws.

      France is no longer vibing like it’s 1789. Now we have Macron clinging to power like a leech, not letting go, he also loves to make friends with the ultra-wealthy, Bernard Arnault and the like.

    This is a power demonstration by Trump. This is a way to show that he is in charge. This is nothing new, every tyrant government wants to the keep their wealthiest citizens in check.

    This looks very alike the earliest days of Putin in Russia.

      Completely agree.

      These are some of the richest and most powerful people in the world. And they bent their knee for Trump, some more willingly than others.

      It’s clearly a warning for the rest: fall in line now or face the consequences.
