WOW. How about that. Uncanny how well it fits the current situation. In my defense, Google News showed the DJI press release as part of the latest story and lists it as being posted 23 hours ago (which is incorrect):

In response to the Army deciding to cease all use of DJI products in its operations: DJI Statement on Customer Data and Privacy "A junior DJI staffer misspoke during an impromptu interview with reporters who were touring the DJI headquarters" Anyone have the source article/interview? [EDIT...
