DJI’s fence-sitting ability is being tested by negative comments and allegedly hackers.
Both sites in the Ukrainian conflict are using DJI.
The Ukrainian government has asked for data from DJI on all its equipment flying in Ukraine and a no-fly zone. MediaMarktSaturn‘s website was inundated with negative comments after Ukrainian Deputy President Mykhailo Fedorov asked for the no-fly zone.
So many that MediaMarktSaturn a DJI partner pulled DJI products from their website.
To date, sharing data with Ukraine is being put in the too hard bin by DJI.
I can’t help think that many conversations have been struck up around water coolers in government, military and aviation regulators coolers around the world to decide just what companies like DJI will be able to record and permit in said countries’ airspace.
Get off the fence DJI.
DJI responded thus, some lost in translation I think.
Instructions on the products removed from the shelves of DJI partners under the attack of the navy
Last week, the social media accounts of DJI and its global partners were attacked by a concerted navy swipe attack, slandering DJI for its inappropriate behavior in the international situation, which caused problems for social media operations of many parties. The German MediaMarktSaturn retail group, a partner of DJI for many years, is also one of the victims of this cyber violence. Last Friday, they suspended the sales of DJI drones in e-commerce and stores for safety reasons. Regarding this incident, both parties Still communicating and discussing.
We have repeatedly reiterated that all DJI products are designed for civilian use and cannot meet military specifications. It is completely wrong to accuse DJI of supporting war on overseas social platforms. Since DJI pioneered the civilian drone industry, this technology has not only benefited global image creators, but has also been widely used in agriculture, security, rescue, environmental protection and other fields. More and more public service agencies are using drone technology to save lives and make society a better place. In addition, DJI complies with applicable laws and regulations globally, and the internal compliance team is composed of experienced professionals to ensure that DJI’s business activities fully comply with international rules.
DJI will, as always, work with global partners to develop civilian drone technology, and constantly iterate our products to better benefit the society and serve people’s production and life.
