Here's something on the FAA's latest regulations. Excerpt:
The Remote ID rule mainly applies to all operators of drones that require FAA registration and weighing more than 0.55 pounds. There are three ways to comply: broadcast ID and location information of the drone and its control station; use a Remote ID broadcast module; or operate without Remote ID but only in specific FAA-recognized identification areas. Manufacturers will have 18 months to begin producing drones with Remote ID and operators will have an additional year to start using drones with Remote ID.
Meanwhile, the rule allowing operations over people and at night applies to Part 107 operators of drones weighing less than 55 pounds. The newly permitted flights have to meet the requirements of one of four new operational categories—three based on the risk of injury to people on the ground and the fourth conditional on the aircraft having an airworthiness certificate. Flights over open-air assemblies are not allowed unless the operator meets Remote ID requirements.

Why does one refer to .55 lbs and the other to 55 lbs. is one a typo or is it a coincidence that they both contain the same numbers? The two regulations seem to be in opposition. What happens if an underage teen has a drone without an ID number? He can they stop someone who is determined? For size restrictions, wouldn’t they start selling drones under the size limits so people would continue to buy them?

There should certainly be some kind of privacy we can rely on, but millions of photographs of people in crowds can now be identified by computer while we are shopping or on vacation. There's no guarantee of anonymity when millions of faces are daily posted on the Web.
