Key Takeaways:
- FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr proposes new restrictions on DJI, the dominant Chinese drone manufacturer, citing national security risks from sensitive data collection by its drones.

- This proposed action is part of a broader trend of U.S. federal agencies, including the Commerce, Interior, and Defense Departments, implementing bans or restrictions on Chinese-made drones due to ongoing national security apprehensions.
