We will not try to "make sure" that this happens, but we plan to offer help for downstream data processors, likely by publishing some sort of feed or list of user deletions and redactions. This hasn't been specced out yet, and doesn't have to be at this point in time. We sure as hell don't intend to track and record who accesses OSM user data. > It might be "the least disruptive", but if it doesn't make any sense, > that doesn't make it better.

I think that setting out clear terms for the users we already have and those who might sign up in the future *is* a step in the right direction. It conveys the message that personal data isn't handed out willy-nilly, and that you have a certain responsibility when dealing with it. > It is a step towards making the project more closed and burying it in > burocracy. I don't see that. > You are ceding ground This isn't a war between us and the EU in which we "cede ground". I don't even think that being able to bandy around personal information about OSM users is a goal worth fighting for. If I had to decide whether the fact that everyone can stalk our mappers using OSM data is a necessary side effect of our work, or counter to our interests, I would probably lean towards the latter. > instead of arguing that this data needs to be public for everyone. Any judge will laugh at you if you say that the information that user John Smith has mapped something at 4:23 on the 3rd of January needs to be public for everyone. Why would it, outside of a very narrow number of QA related use cases?
