What are the privacy implications of using drones for surveillance?

Using drones for surveillance can lead to various privacy risks, such as invasion of personal privacy, unauthorized data collection, and the potential for misuse of collected information. Regulations can address these concerns by imposing restrictions on where and when drones can be used for surveillance, requiring consent for data collection, implementing data retention limits, enforcing encryption and cybersecurity measures to protect collected data, and establishing clear guidelines for data usage and sharing. Additionally, regulations can also prescribe penalties for non-compliance to ensure accountability and deter unlawful surveillance practices.
