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

i don’t really care

Too many factors for a yes or no answer

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

i don’t have a say.

Yes, but with high priority on the safety of people and wildlife in the event of a malfunction.

Yes, but at a cost and with a licence

Yes but not on private property

If it does not invade the privacy of others

Do not understand the question

Commercial opens the door for over stepping

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 with tight restrictions

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.

Yes, but in restricted areas

Yes, but with heavy restrictions.

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

It doesn’t bother me either way

Unknown topic

Drones should require licenses to ensure they are used responsibly. They are a potential safety threat and can easily be used for terrorism or surveillance.

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

No, people deserve privacy

If the civilians agree

depends on what the commercial purpose is

Yes but it should be closely regulated

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

as long as it is not to put someone in danger

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

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

With permission of owners they may be disturbing

Yes, but highly regulate it.

I mean I’d prefer if they didn’t

No but permit required

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

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

With permission or permit

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

it could be cool

There should be limits and boundaries but they should be legal within commercial use

I don’t really care or understand

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

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

Should have some restrictions

So long as they respect privacy, trespassing and other laws

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

What does that even mean?

It should be reviewed for purpose of use

It has its pros and cons

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.

yes, but only if heavily regulated.

Yes, but it should be government regulated

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.
