1) Can you confirm that DJI no longer prevents its drones from taking off / flying into any locations whatsoever in the United States, including but not limited to military installations, over public emergency areas like wildfires, and critical government buildings like the White House?

Less than a month after drone swarms haunted New Jersey’s night skies, DJI removed the geofencing features that finally ended the panic over the Garden State. The Chinese drone producer announced a software update that replaced the guardrails that prevented operators from flying into restricted airspace with an in-app warning that can be easily ignored.

Since at least 2013 when DJI first released its Phantom drone in the United States, the company has made it difficult for drone operators to fly DJI drones over restricted areas. The software on the drones would automatically restrict you from flying over sensitive places including runways, the White House, and power plants.
