[Talk-us] FBI using OSM on website... without attribution

Fri Jun 30 21:30:31 UTC 2017

I'm going to check with some USG tech friends to see if they know anyone on the FBI web team. I think it may prove more expedient and get better attention than calling or emailing parts of the bureau which have little to do with this.

 My mistake, Leaflet's example map and code on their main page do show correct attribution to OSM

So back to the FBI  https://www.fbi.gov/cve508/technical-support seems to suggest contacting a community outreach specialist in your local field office (via a dead link for me).
https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/richmond/community-outreach-1 just lists Training.RH at ic.fbi.gov as a possible contact

It's not Leaflet's fault the attribution is incorrect, their website is disabling the default attribution and adding a custom one.

A better route is to contact http://leafletjs.com/ since they are providing the actual map data thru their script.  Also they probably do so for lots of other sites.
Leaflet does attribute Openstreetmap at the bottom of their main page page though.

It looks like all the FBI field office sites are essentially part of the national site, so they're all probably managed centrally. They all credit Leaflet in the map widget, and use OSM tiles without crediting OSM.
It's been years since I've noticed webmaster links, like we used to have in the early days of the Web. Poking around, I couldn't find any technical feedback links at all on fbi.gov. Ideas for contacting someone who might be able to help with this issue:   
   - Call the national FBI number: (202) 324-3000 from https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us /fbi-headquarters.
   - Email one of the Community Outreach addresses available at various field offices ("Community Outreach" link near the top of each field office's page). E.g. for the San Francisco office, it's outreach.sf at ic.fbi.gov from https://www.fbi.gov/conta ct-us/field-offices/sanfrancis co/community-outreach-1. Some other field offices also have outreach email addresses.
   - On their "Businesses" page https://www.fbi.gov/resou rces/businesses, they have a link for "Intellectual Property Theft/Piracy" at https://www.fbi.gov/investi gate/white-collar-crime/piracy -ip-theft. While this issue seems economically tiny compared to the IP theft issues they tend to spend time on, it might be possible to get someone's help this way, since it's their own website. (Although the reporting methods I found went to other offices, not obviously directly to the FBI.)
I won't be following up on these in the foreseeable future, but if someone else does follow up, please let us all know what happens.

See map in upper right part of page

Does either the page for the Denver field office, and/or the nation-wide field office locator referred to in a separate post in this thread, include a "Contact the Webmaster" sort of link?  Or even just a "Contact Us" link?  Those would be a first obvious point of contact, I'd think...
