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. //Johan Jönsson -- _______________________________________________ Publicpolicy mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/publicpolicy
