My own take on privacy related limitations to mapping would be much more <br>
simple: Individual humans as well as their activities and social <br>
interactions between individual humans - including permanent physical <br>
manifestations of those - are not as such part of the verifiable <br>
geography we intend to record.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>+0.9, I'd make it more precise: "private activities and private social interactions"</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

The private swimming pool and the private driveway become part of the <br>
verifiable geography because members of society on a larger scale (i.e. <br>
not just the personal social environment of the owner) interact with <br>
them on a routine basis.</blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I'd question this. Noone has to show their private swimming pool or driveway to anybody, clearly not on a "larger scale". (I am still for mapping private swimming pools, and driveways, as long as we do not associate an individual with it, it has nothing to do with privacy.)</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> In those cases mostly visually - but that can <br>
