December 15, 2019: Unusual increase in map activity reported around the municipalities of Taal, Lemery, San Nicolas, Santa Teresita and San Luis. OSMPH ticket created.

January 24, 2020: POIs copied from GMaps discovered through Geofabrik Map Compare. New ticket created for reverts of all POIs believed to be illegally copied.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Now we’re also dealing with issues about mapping by Para Apps, I’m also looking if some of the users could be really Para map editors (not sure if any of the municipalities where the suspicious mapping activity do have launched tricycle services using the Para app). Some of the names of the users involved do raise red flags, but so far, that’s just my gut feeling; there’s little evidence they could be.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jul 2, 2021 at 10:47 PM Jherome Miguel <<a href="mailto:jheromemiguel@gmail.com">jheromemiguel@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204)"><div><div><div dir="auto">As of now, we have been tackling issues with edits from PARA Systems Inc, which has some of its users involved in Illegal copying from Google Maps, but I would also like to revive the investigation regarding a huge organized mapping activity covering several municipalities in Batangas last December 2019 (see <a href="https://github.com/OSMPH/papercut_fix/issues/56" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSMPH/papercut_fix/issues/56</a>). There has been illegal copying of GMaps data in that case (and much of the edits from that activity reverted), editors have failed to communicate regarding concerns about data quality and sourcing, and the nature of the mapping activity remains unknown. I have long guessed this one could be a LGU mapping activity, and reviving investigations should bring more details to light.</div>
