[OSM-talk] Abnormal votings on military objects in RU wiki part; PocketGIS madness

[Pieren]

We have a similar issue in France about illegal content in OSM. I'ts
about... individual addresses. Our data privacy laws consider an individual
address as an indirect private information (even anonymized). This law is an
exception in Europe and might change in the near future but until then, we
have to live with that.
And this is not a problem for our contributors or our data consumers What we
just say is that they have to filter or remove the individual addresses if
they want to use the data in France. Point. One possibility is that someone
could locally replace the individal addresses by interpolated addresses
ranges (which is legal) but nobody proposed to replace the tags in OSM db
itself !
