Yes, it can, and it is highly likely right now.Seems to be getting a bit of play in an election year, but could they really ground all of us?
What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.
DJI drones face a potential ban in the U.S. as Congress considers new legislation in order to prevent sensitive, drone-gathered information from going to China.
I would argue "highly likely". And they wouldn't ground us. At worst, DJI would not be able to import any new models. Current models would not be affected.
Chicken Little just saw the DJI ban pass the House. Hard to believe it made it this far, but "China paranoia" in the US is reaching epic levels. Anything is possible.
I read that they would ban DJI products from using the comm infrastructure. That would ground us.
You read wrong. It's only supposed to affect NEW DJI models that require NEW FCC licenses. They won't ground us.

nope,that is only going to be for new products,not what you currently are flying.
Makes no sense to me, really. If they want to prevent DJI from passing into to the Chinese government allowing all existing drones to continue flying totally defeats that goal. I'm hoping this idiotic bill dies on the vine.
DJI doesn't pass any info to the PRC. They no long allow any flight log uploads from the U.S.
I know that, but the whole purpose of this legislation is to prevent that, right? And the government believes that info is being passed, right? So how will this bill prevent that in their eyes? Not arguing, just discussing. None of this makes sense to me.
None of it makes sense to anyone with synapses that fire. You’re not alone.
The appropriate government agencies don’t have and never will have the manpower to accomplish that task.
I leave those kinds of issues to my attorney.
Hope your right also,one would think they have a lot more important things and matters to work on,than a completely goofy drone ban.
