This is a PR issue I'm dealing with right now. I'm the founder of a nascent startup that uses commercial flights to crowdsource aerial imagery on a massive scale. I was anticipating skepticism around the feasibility of our approach, but I ended up entertaining many more concerns about surveillance and governmental access. Because we leverage commercial flights, we're able to update our map hundreds of thousands of times/day. The majority of people immediately start thinking of all the uses cases made possible by that kind of temporal resolution, but there's a very vocal, skeptical few. As much as I'd like to brush them off, skepticism is critical and I'm forcing myself to listen and take notes in order to address those concerns in our marketing and content moving forward. It's a fine line.
