Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
So what's to stop the government using these for mass surveillance or targeting government dissidents
Don't you worry your pretty little head about it. If you're not doing anything wrong then it won't matter, right?
Lol.
I can imagine being robbed and a drone just flies around with blinking red and blue lights with a siren.

Time to dust off the crowbar
It's gonna take more than a crowbar to get us out of this one
After you find the crowbar you usually find a pistol next
It's all fun and games until there's a shahed in the bodega
Nice. We finally know we’re in the Watch Dogs universe.
Or creeping into Slaughterbots terrority.
When do they get the Department of Precrime to go with it?
We need them psychic triplets first.
No problem, Trump supporters will tell them the color of the neighborhoods to target.
It would be easier to say what color neighborhoods not to target.
In before they shoot down the drones.
So even more useless than it already is?
Just want until the drones discover Candy Crush. Then the drones will get drones.
I’m sure they’ll put them back in storage after problems are resolved…NOT.
Shit shit shit just everywhere all shit
It would be so unfortunate if someone made an Open source hardware version of anti-drone guns...
The first time someone shoots one down, they're going to make it so that downing a drone has the same criminal penalty as attacking an officer. Mark my words.
But like the police dogs. They’ll abuse them themselves without issue.
