DJI Sues FCC for 'Carelessly' Restricting Its Drones in the United States

Chinese drone giant DJI has sued the Federal Communications Commission, accusing the agency of 'carelessly' restricting its products in the United States. The lawsuit challenges FCC rules that effectively barred DJI drones from American airspace over national security concerns tied to their Chinese origin. The case sits at the intersection of U.S.-China tech tensions and the booming commercial drone industry, with implications for farmers, filmmakers, and emergency responders who rely on DJI's market-leading hardware.
