Not necessarily – you're still free to post your vacation pictures on
Instagram or Facebook, for example, as I understand it. But for us
that's almost irrelevant: if you want to make information about public
spaces available to the public, you need to do so in a structured way
and they need to be able to easily find it.

But it's just to roll up our sleeves and start the legislative fight, I suppose.
