Should the government permit the use of drones for commercial purposes?

In a capitalist sense it's bad but if we were socialists yes

i don’t have a say.

Yes, but at a cost and with a licence

Yes but not on private property

If it does not invade the privacy of others

Yes, for certain area and research.

Yes, but should be regulated so that it isn't used for other purposes then delivery

Yes but need permission from government before use of drones and must be strictly for commercial purposes only

Yes but insuring safety and privacy issues are thoroughly addressed and laws in place to prevent improper use

Yes provided they fufill a application of what the intended use is, and they are given restrictions to abide by regarding flying height, noise, timing allowed in airspace etc to prevent disturbance to citizens

It would have to be heavily monitored to prevent issues

Yes if heavily monitored

Within reason and as long as enforced regulations.

Not without proper clearance.

Yes, but in restricted areas

Only if there are strict regulations in place that would mitigate privacy concerns

Yes, but with heavy restrictions.

Yes, as long as *everyone* involved consents to being in these recordings.

business should not be able to do anything consumers cannot, period

I don’t see why it’s necessary- but Only if it doesn’t violate people’s privacy

Yes, as long as people don’t invade my privacy.

It depends on the commercial purpose and where it is being used.

Pending strict privacy and airspace regulations

If the civilians agree

Yes, as long as the drones won't be a danger hazard to people living in that area.

i don’t care about drones tbh

as long as it is not to put someone in danger

If it has practical purposes such as deliveries, yes. Public surveillance and invasion of privacy is a deal breaker.

Yes, but only if there is a lockdown/pandemic

I feel as though the public is not aware of the pros and cons of this issue and before any decision is made the public needs to be aware of this

With adequate regulation

Strict regulations so people in delivery jobs aren't extremely impacted plus privacy and information storage concerns are addressed

With permission of owners they may be disturbing

Yes, but highly regulate it.

It depends. As long as they follow and respect the rules and do not cross boundaries.

No but permit required

Yes, if regulated to ensure ethical use, privacy, and no environmental impact

Yes please

Yes, if it's regulated to some degree. Otherwise it could pose a potentially serious security/privacy risk.

it could be cool

I don’t really care or understand

Yes But not for Surveillance

depends how aware people are

Yes, however which cases these drones can be used in has to be public information and the regulations should be made with experts in fields such as security.

dependent on situation

Should have some restrictions

It depends on how widespread the usage is.

Yes, but such commercial purposes should be heavily regulated

I don’t care/know enough about this to care

Yes, provided they do not have cameras or are used for ulterior motives

It depends on the "commercial purpose"

Depends on the type of business using them, definitely not in public spaces though.

For certain jobs, yes but for regular jobs ,no be cause it removes jobs for people

Yes, but there should be a comprehensive regulatory mechanism enforced by the government that prioritizes civilian privacy, safety and security.

With proper supervision

depends on the business

It has its pros and cons

as long as it doesn’t interfere with people’s privacy

Yes, but with strict regs.

What specifically would be the use?

It depends. If drones are used for things like delivering prescriptions to remote communities, then yes. If they are used for scouting forestry opportunities, perhaps not.
