Do the people voting understand that?  From the translated text, I get the
impression that anyone who votes for it will have the assumption that they
are voting to regulate other people's behavior, which could lead to
problems later, particularly if someone sees the wiki page that says "no
military mapping in Russia" and then deletes OSM data that looks like
military mapping in Russia.
