[OSM-talk] Facebook mapping highways using AI in collaboration with OpenStreetMap

[Nuno Caldeira]

i share the thoughts and concerns shared by Christoph. It's not 
surprisingly that most of these companies are "tied" or are 
client/service providers of each other, some are even Corporate members 
of OSMF. Who would bite the hand the feeds?

Blaming third party media outlets, when Facebook article title is "AI is 
supercharging the creation of maps around the world" says a lot. What 
maps? Bit of misleading title oh well, not clear enough. #options

Also the video they have on the article shows in the end the 
attribution. Funnily uploaded on Vimeo, that regarding this

replied me yesterday mentioning they are having an investigation between 
their engineers and their legal department to add the attribution on the 
map on their LiveStream platform.... hope it does not take as long as 
the steam engine speed legal dept of facebook that still hasn't figured 
out since October what to do about the attribution as when they replied 
to me in October 2018, as reported here
