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

[Brian Stromberg]

I think the concern is probably that OSM is fed directly into various apps
and services. The maps on the park's website may contain the same
information but they are not distributed in the same way.

Although, after looking at the maps they provide, I don't think the
cultural resources are included on the park maps, so the argument that "the
information is available anyway" doesn't really hold up.
