| Summary: | Civilian drones are increasing in their use. One of the reasons for their rising popularity and increased use, is affordability. They are used for recreational photography, delivering medicines, dousing fire, spraying crops, and even surveillance of individuals. As is the fate with all inventions, drones are also being regulated. Legislation is the most obvious armour against the negative social impacts of technology, in this case, visual privacy. But there are other negative social impacts, for example, property trespass, which may in combination with others, change the arithmetic of the legal liability. Therefore, this study investigates the impact on visual privacy of individuals, by the increasing use of civilian drones, and the nature of liability. This study also investigates the adequacy of the existing solutions to fight the violations of visual privacy by drones and their remote pilots. |
