Hot Take:

Big Brother just got a drone, and it’s not just for delivering your Amazon packages! As much as we love the idea of flying robots, it seems that drones are the nosy neighbors we never asked for. The skies aren’t just for birds anymore; they’re for surveillance, and it’s high time we grounded these peeping Toms!

Key Points:

  • Drones are being used for surveillance more than your mom uses Facebook.
  • Supreme Court rulings from the ’80s are as outdated as cassette tapes.
  • Law enforcement agencies are adopting drones faster than teenagers adopt TikTok trends.
  • Promises to respect privacy with drones are as reliable as a paper umbrella in a hurricane.
  • There’s talk of arming drones, because apparently, RoboCop wasn’t enough of a warning.
