[OSM-legal-talk] Removal of 'unsuitable' content from an OSM-related site

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello Martn,

I believe I 'probably' don't have any obligation, but I am just being
cautious as we do appear to live in a very litigious world and I just want
to be safe. It's a case of whether there is some automatic 'implied rights'
for users when there are no terms of service.

I don't have any terms of service - as a non-profit/research project it's
all quite informal - just some comments that 'unsuitable' panoramas, or
panoramas containing faces and license plates which are not detected by the
screening software I use - may be removed. Recently (after this) I have
added a comment on road panoramas being liable to be removed if unlikely to
be of interest to walkers.

Thanks,
Nick
