DJI sues the US Department of Defense for labeling it a ‘Chinese Military Company’
theverge.com
DJI, the world’s largest drone company, is suing to avoid being seen as a tool of the Chinese government. On Friday, it sued the US Department of Defense to delete its name from a list of “Chinese Military Companies,” claiming it has no such relationship to Chinese authorities and has suffered unfairly as a result of that designation.
Since DJI was added to that list in 2022, the company claims, it has “lost business deals, been stigmatized as a national security threat, and been banned from contracting with multiple federal government agencies,” and that its employees “now suffer frequent and pervasive stigmatization” and are “repeatedly harassed and insulted in public places.”

Seems like a odd thing to stick in your terms of service.
Does it really sound that odd? I would expect the exact same from USA-based companies regarding USA laws. Companies generally don't like hosting illegal content.
Oh sure, this wouldn't be so odd if your example applied.We're talking about an American company with a clause like this.They aren't American though. They are Chinese, DJI stands for Da-Jiang Innovations. "Da-Jiang" roughly translates to "Great Frontier" or "Great Border", it's not just someone's name.
Ah thanks for the correction then.
Skimming the terms made it out as an American LLC.
Well, they are a Chinese company. That they will need to comply will the laws of China doesn't surprise me.
