Diabetes is a real issue that actually kills people.
Your link says:
The committee therefore reaffirmed that it is safe for a person to consume within this limit per day. For example, with a can of diet soft drink containing 200 or 300 mg of aspartame, an adult weighing 70kg would need to consume more than 9–14 cans per day to exceed the acceptable daily intake, assuming no other intake from other food sources.

Milk is addictive and harmful.
Sounds like what this is about…

There were some conservation groups doing research on fully autonomous drones that could fly around the Amazon in remote regions to study the wildlife.
I imagine they learned how to nest in trees during high sun to recharge.
I imagine this research is mostly already done. The only thing we need to do is teach it to identify camera lenses.
And occasionally refill its tank with black paint (or, better, cache a hotswappable tank somewhere in a forest and then send an encrypted signal with the coordinates)

Still seems like the same thing…
I wouldn’t normally beat up a guy, but if a police officer was in plainclothes beating the shit out of a woman on the street, I might do the right thing and beat him up.
This person might not normally cut down invasive surveillance technology, but if the police put up a fake flock camera in his neighborhood, he might do the right thing and cut it down.
