Drone Ban Faces Overwhelming Opposition in FCC Public Comments

The FCC's proposed drone ban has landed with a thud, and the public has spoken loudly: 3,824 comments filed, and 98.6% oppose the rule as written. That is not a close call. People see through the national security rationale when the real issue is sweeping, blunt regulation. We appreciate the intent to protect, but overwhelming opposition suggests a rule out of step with creators and businesses alike.

Drone Surveillance Scrutinized: Protecting Privacy in the Digital Age

A single image of a home, captured from above without permission, can feel like a quiet intrusion. The ACLU's lawsuit against a California county has forced a necessary reckoning with how aerial surveillance operates. We believe privacy isn't a luxury; it's a baseline.

Two minutes of flight time. That's all it took for a professional videographer to land in FBI custody, arrested after filming a Houston church with a drone during the 2026 World Cup, a city hosting no matches that day. The irony stings, doesn't it? A creative's tool turned into a legal lightning rod. It's a sharp reminder that rules don't always follow logic. For a deeper dive into artistic missteps, our piece on a photographer's $4.6M downfall pairs perfectly with this cautionary tale.
