` | taking peoples’ pictures without their consent is wrong. Corporations or companies could use drones to spy on their competitors as well. If a normal civilian were to have drone access to a restricted area that belonged to the government or any other private property to anyone, this is a big ethical issue. You’re invading someone’s privacy with a device that was meant to be used for fun or for your job and instead it can be a tool to spy. These drones have cameras and can capture not only images but videos. Our technology can be used for us or against us. Our drones in the military are used for surveillance and bombings. If those drones were to be hacked, it would be a big national security issue for not only The United States but for any country. That’s what makes this unmanned aircraft so vulnerable, the ability for it to be hacked or reprogrammed to work against its original user. The military even wants to insert a chip in the users’ body, more specifically the brain. The purpose of this chip is for the user to control it without having to use a remote or some sort of device. Even though it gives paralyzed and handicap soldiers a second chance to fight, it is still dangerous. No one knows what will happen to the user with the implanted chip if they are hacked. Could the person who hacked in the drone connected to the chip now have access to deactivate the chip and the user possibly die? There are so many unanswered questions, and the idea of mixing man and machine together is still challenging for some citizens.
