FCC to Retroactively Ban Disguised DJI Drones for First Time
The FCC is preparing to use its new power to retroactively ban devices it previously approved, targeting DJI front companies that allegedly disguised drones to evade import restrictions. This marks the first enforcement of the rule, which could set a precedent for tech regulation. The move aims to close loopholes used to bypass national security concerns over Chinese-made drones.

The FCC's first retroactive ban tests the limits of its authority, potentially reshaping how hardware compliance is enforced post-approval.
