They will be using them for surveillance soon enough. Don’t give them an inch.

Regular drones could already be used for that more easily.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong™

[-] FaceDeer@kbin.social -4 points 1 year ago

I'm actually curious what you think might go wrong. They're flying megaphones.

I got a feeling of discomfort thinking about this, but couldn't put my finger on why. This is why. Funny how that lodged into my subconscious, hah.

I'm sure that's all they'll use it for.

They're flying megaphones, what else could they be used for?

...don't they have wireless emergency alerts?

[-] keeb420@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

If that's all they use it for its not a bad idea. I don't trust them though to not abuse it.

So will those be completely under public control or is that like moving Twitter again that gets rate limited in case of an emergency?
