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.

If it does not invade the privacy of others

Yes, for certain area and research.

Yes, but only for analytical purposes

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

why? there's no use for that I think

Only for situations where it is absolutely necessary

I don’t have an opinion on this.

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

Not without proper clearance.

Only if it can be regulated to ensure there is no abuse of individual's privacy.

I’m unsure on the subject

Yes, but with heavy restrictions.

Only if it respects personal bouderies

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

It doesn’t bother me either way

Yes, but with permit only

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

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

Not for any kind of surveillance activities

Yes if regulated

depends on what the commercial purpose is

Yes, but limit the number in the sky and insure they are not breaching people's privacy.

Yes but it should be closely regulated

yes, with regulations limiting drones to certain times/places

Sorta? Yes but be monitored, people could buy them and say it's for commercial use but turn around and use it for nasty things.

i don’t care about drones tbh

Yes, but only with tight regulation.

Yes, but only if there is a lockdown/pandemic

Yes but with limits.

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

Not very educated about this particular topic

With adequate regulation

Yes, and only on public property, or their own privately owned property

Yes, but mostly for emergency services

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

Yes, but highly regulate it.

I mean I’d prefer if they didn’t

No but permit required

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

It should be within reason and people should be made aware of what is happening.

I don’t really have an opinion

I don’t really care or understand

Yes as long as they are not being used for security purposes by there company.

Yes only if the area of footage is consenting

Yes as long as not to see the public

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.

As long as it doesn't infringe on privacy

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

mabye if there able to withstand strong winds and weather

It depends on the "commercial purpose"

What does that even mean?

Can we have some privacy for one moment in life.

yes, but with regulations.

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

Yes, but with strict regs.

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.
