Google Chief Wants Civilian Drones to Be Regulated
Worried about privacy and security
The influential head of Google, Eric Schmidt, has called for civilian drone technology to be regulated, warning about privacy and security concerns.
Cheap miniature versions of the unmanned aircraft used by militaries could fall into the wrong hands, he told the UK's Guardian newspaper.
Quarrelling neighbours, he suggested, might end up buzzing each other with private surveillance drones.
He also warned of the risk of terrorists using the new technology.

Two points:
1. Google is worried about privacy? I don't even know where to start...
2. I noticed this Statist fuck is OK with governments using drones, it is civilians using this tech that he is worried about.
What a tool.
