of course, I apologize if this came along like a campaign just with facebook, it was just an example that facebook was mentioned, because they are our biggest data user (Apple as well, but they don’t use OpenStreetMap data in their most  important markets, AFAIK). Collecting _all_ addresses is a project goal (it’s part of mapping the whole world), and was not referring specifically to facebook, nor had I imagined a campaign just with facebook (if they are interested in this anyway), making such an announcement could be an occasion for the media in general for featuring OpenStreetMap. The people vs. Big Tech etc.
