Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating a Florida-based drone distributor over concerns that its alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) could pose threats to consumer privacy and national security.

Paxton’s office announced the investigation targeting Drone Nerds on May 5, pointing to its relationship with Texas-based drone manufacturer Anzu Robotics, which it alleges has been “misrepresenting its security and privacy measures and concealing its ties to the CCP.”
