<p>To expand a bit, by providing a platform for third party services:</p>
<ul>
<li>we are providing a high marketing value to the companies involved (I don't want to speculate on the equivalent value in $)</li>
<li>we are making it more difficult for alternative solutions to have a place in our offering (just look at Mapillary and OSC vs. simple photo drag & drop)</li>
<li>we are in general making it more difficult for our contributors to edit without exposing themselves to third parties, which is one of the reasons a large part of your audience uses OSM in the 1st place.</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm not against the integration of 3rd party services in general, but we need to at least have an opportunity to evaluate the situation and not just having a fait accompli dropped in front of us.</p>
<p>PS: and yes we (as in LWG now) will need to have a look at the data protection implications of the integration.</p>
