"Send in the drones!" Why not fight drones with drones?
I feel like a way better attack vector would be a computer controlled kite. Between a string reaching all the way to the ground almost invisible to see, and a bunch of long streaming tails from the kite to foul rotors - you could do pretty well, if you can find the drone.
I would think though it would be more effective to hire goons to hang around anywhere open and with a line of sight to the area over the filming. Kind of a different take on the XKCD $5 wrench encryption cracking strategy.

That's DOCTOR Who, to you, Sir!
It's a little [illogical] to say a tomato is a vegetable. It's very [illogical] to say it's a suspension bridge.
Logic is a binary function. Something is in a logical set - or it is not. Being illogical is not a synonym for being mistaken. Degrees of precision are irrelevant for set inclusion. Fuzzy logic is not logic.
BTW: It is illogical to conclude that a Tomato in NOT a vegetable, simply because it belongs to a taxonomical subclass, "fruit". It as if I were to say your testicle is not animal.
Hey!
Us handsome dudes get extra rewards too. Just because we look so fucking good.
They'll need to find a new name for the company now. ORACLE = One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
I wish I'd heard that one before, when I could have used it!
But? I'm enjoying the hell out of it now.
"I find this highly... Illogical."
BTW: What's with the adverb, Spock? A thing is in the category of logical distribution, or it is not. The presumption "Highly" is an illogical value judgement.
Apple double-pinky swearing that they'll never, unh-uh, not ever unlock your iPhone
That's not what they said - they said the've altered it so they CANNOT unlock your iPhone, even if they want to.
Given how the technology works, that is a quite reasonable assertion. iOS devices have had full device encryption for some time, without that key you have nothing.
All this "canary" bullshit begs the question why, if Apple really cared one little bit about their customers, don't they just come out and say what they have to say.
That just shows a misunderstanding of what companies are legally ALLOWED to say. Once you get the order you CANNOT talk about it, thus the device of the canary.
They really think you're stupid.
No, the rest of us that understand encryption think you are.
Tsk - it's called Myanmar Shave now.
Aye. And I'll raise a Mumbai Sapphire martini to that!
Thanks.
I once got regular mod points. I think if you cross an invisible "Troll" achievement threshold, you get blocked.
