DJI is issuing a mandatory firmware update for its drones. Do it, or keep your drone on the shelf.

There is probably something terribly wrong with it for them to make it mandatory. It probably has a random thing where it takes off in a direction suddenly or something like that. Something like that would be the only reason for this happening. I doubt they are doing anything dubious to them like some mass kill switch. . . .

Actually, they had given a 3rd party the right to use the plugin to gather info but when they determined that the info they gathered wasn't in keeping with their business model, the revoked it and removed the plugin from the latest firmware.
I wonder if it involves their previous practice of having the drone send info back to China. That was part of the user agreement until recently.
