This is just another badly written article by a third party. As someone else on thread said, hardly the first time a media piece gets OSM wrong. Take a look at facebook’s own words here https://tech.fb.com/ai-is-supercharging-the-creation-of-maps-around-the-world/ I’m sure there’s plenty of phrases in FB’s own post to get worked about, if you’re looking for things to flame Facebook and the entire corporate world about. Myself, I like what they’re doing. Mikel

In case anyone doubts that - https://www.digitalinformationworld.com/2019/07/facebook-ai-is-supercharging-the-creation-of-maps-around-the-world.html "Recently, Facebook released a statement about its new effort to create an OpenStreetMap project to not only benefit from mapping data but also making this platform an open-source navigational source for users." And the rest of the article is about how Facebook's only purpose is to bring comfort to people's lives etc. This is probably normal for corporate PR people, but for me it's just disgusting.
