DISCUSSION
1. IT User: Is the drones' ability to track and use gathered information protective of
the rights of the average citizen?
R.S.: I think it really depends on the way the information is used. If it is for improvement
of the functionality I think that it would be permissible. Also I think that if it is kept
centralized on the machine it is protected and secured. I think it would ultimately be
protective of the rights of the average citizen. It should be the largest impact on the
rights of the average person.
R.v.B: No response.
J.W.: I do not think it is right for drones to track and gather information on people.
Doing so violates the privacy rights of individuals and could lead to individual users
using the technology for malicious things. I think the pro side would say these drones
could be used to find terrorist and criminals but since the majority of our population
aren't these things I think the negative aspects of these outweigh the positives.
M.W.: It depends on who the information is being shared with. !he manufacturer could
gather information that would help fi" bugs and make new models better without
attaching personal information to it.
P.W.: I don't really think a manufacturer of model aircraft can be held to such a
standard.
J.Y.: No response.
2. IT Professional: Should companies displace obs for human beings in place of faster!
and seemingly more efficient drones? "nd if so! ho# #ould companies go about
monitoring the data received #ithout using it to advertise #ithout consent?

R.S.: I think many people would disagree with me but I think it would be alright to take
some jobs away for proficiency. #onsidering more jobs will be created to make and
design the robots. I believe that some jobs will naturally become obsolete for humans to
do because they are tedious and time consuming. I am sure that advertising could be
monitored and can even have restrictions. !his would be underrated the jurisdiction of
the company. $ersonally I would like to see this information used to improve the %uality
of the products and not ads.
R.v.B: No response.
J.W.: I do not believe companies should displace human jobs in place of robotic ones.
!he more we replace human interactions with machines the more antisocial our society
will become. I would rather go to a restaurant where I am served by humans that take a
little longer then emotionless robots that are more efficient.
M.W$: If a drne !an d it !heaper and"r #etter$ %e sh&ld let the' d it. I g&ess the rest

P.W.: #ompanies are compelled to do whatever they can to be successful. &ou can't
control your data once it is on the internet
J.Y.: No response.
%$ Policy &aker: Should there be more regulations on privacy if drones are used for
commercial use?
R.S.: 'k think that there should be more privacy regulations if there a more drones used
for commercial use. I think that there should be policies created to restrict the amount of

data a drone can collect. !here could also be only specific information they can collect.
!hat would be another solution.
R.v.B: No response.
J.W.: &es. If drones do go commercial there needs to be strict regulations mandating
what can and cannot be done with them. I do not want to see my neighbor with a drone
that has a camera or a gun attached because who knows what they could be doing with
it.
M.W.: I definitely believe there should be a limit on what information the drone could
gather and use. I guess that depends on what they are helping with and what they could
report that I don't want to share. (aybe an opt)in opt)out list right from the beginning.
P.W.: *ow do you regulate $rivacy+ ,ho-s entitled to enforce any of these ideas+
J.Y.: No response.
