They're cloud based, aren't they? So regardless of what they're doing with the data, it's true that they're (figuratively) beaming it back, although parent is admittedly implying more.

I accept that chinese authorities generally have access to anything they want to in the country, so I would buy that they have access to drone data.

with how they are executing tick tock and making a mockery out of the USDS system, I would not put this past them at all

They're not cloud based as far as I would define it. I have one and fly mostly on areas where there is no internet signal. The drone beams back video to your phone and unless you're syncing the cache videos with their cloud nothing its stored other than flight meta data. You can avoid even that by using a totally offline controller/phone.

How does the drone communicate with the phone?
