When the data is already available, where's the loss in searching it for something you're curious in seeing? The point is that they're being provided data about all kinds of things, and while I'm sure most of it is entirely useless, but that doesn't mean it all is.

The DJI privacy policy certainly indicates that they're collecting a decent bit of information:

"Device-Related and Flight-Related Information. When you use DJI Products and Services, you may provide us with information relating to (i) your DJI Product or Service, your non-DJI device on which the DJI Product or Service is used (including computers, phones, or other devices where you install or access DJI Products and Services), and your photos or videos that you upload using DJI Products and Services. This information may include: (i) information about your non-DJI device (including your device ID, hardware version, and operating system); (ii) information about your DJI device (including the model and serial number of your device); (iii) geolocation data relating to your non-DJI device and DJI device and any photo or video you submitted using DJI Products and Services; (iv) information about any photo or video recorded, including the name of the video file, the length of the video, EXIF data relating to the photo or video; (v) other technical information, including the IP address used by your non-DJI device, and flight data; and (vi) data associated with your DJI account."

The general idea is that someone else flying it already knows where and what they're looking for. From the remote side, all that you need to do is determine who is flying a drone near something you'd like to get a better look at yourself.

Not a particularly hard thing to do when the drones are sending all that GPS and video data back to the mfg. company's hardware.

Plus the luxury of doing it from home, no need to go anywhere near what you'd like to spy on, just set up some filter rules, and maybe train a photo identification AI to spot what you'd like to see, so you know which videos you should take a better look at yourself later.
