[Talk-us] Removal of sensitive data in East Bay Regional Park District, CA

[Clay Smalley]

Why is this relevant? If an author publishes sensitive cultural information
in a guidebook, that is inappropriate and they shouldn't do that, but this
is the responsibility of the author and not us as OSM mappers.

Sensitive cultural information in this context could be considered a subset
of personal information, belonging to a tribe. Shouldn't tribes get to
decide what is and isn't personal to them? In a sense, the East Bay Park
Regional District is requesting personal information be redacted on behalf
of the Chochenyo Ohlone people.
