A recent post discusses consumer frustration with DJI's practice of selling licenses to use their cameras instead of the outright ownership of the device. Users express concerns about mandatory app installations and privacy invasions, calling it a form of corporate surveillance and a shift to techno-feudalism where consumers own nothing. Many commenters advocate for regulatory changes to protect individual privacy and autonomy in technology use. Alternatives to DJI that do not impose similar restrictions are being sought by frustrated users.
