| Description | Eric Schmidt doesn't want a drone flying over his house. Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google, told The Guardian in a recent interview, that civilian drones - which have been used for everything from whale watching to movie making - need to be regulated lest they infringe on our civil liberties.
Your neighbors shouldn't be able to buy a drone, launch it from their backyard, and use it to monitor your activity, Schmidt told The Guardian in a subscribers-only interview that was picked up by the BBC.
"I would prefer to not spread and democratize the ability to fight war to every single human being," Schmidt said, referring to the controversial use of drones by the military. |
