The WAN Show Stop Flying Over My House - WAN Show July 29, 2023
Insurance Drone Spying
- C.J. Sveen's homeowner's insurance was dropped due to "hazards" in his yard, including a car restoration project.
- The insurer, CSAA, initially claimed drone footage revealed the hazards but later denied using a drone.
Drone Surveillance Concerns
- Insurers photographing policyholders in public is legal, but using drones to photograph private property raises privacy concerns.
- It's unclear what laws exist to protect homeowners from unwarranted drone surveillance.
ESRB Facial Age Scan
- The ESRB wants to implement facial age scans for privacy-preserving age estimation, not as an age gate.
- The system will supposedly delete images immediately after use.
