OpenStreetMap Unnecessary Public Listing of our Farm Buildings / Features

You just seem to enjoy arguing tbh.

Say more to me and explain "legitimate concern".

Do you mean you have a real and widely held experience that marking the map with Barns and Cowsheds leads to a higher theft rate on farms? There isn't a single case I can read about in this country (or anywhere) where online maps formed part of the investigation, evidence or confession. Around 16000 burglary crimes are reported each year and about 25% end up in court. Not one.

Why is it a fake privacy argument?

It very much is a real privacy argument.

It is none of your business or anyone elses (not including legitimate authorities) what a farmer uses their sheds for no more than it is anyone's business what you use your garden shed for.

And I don't see how a legitimate privacy argument is anyway comparable to debating a religious idea of creation.

This whole thing is very much along the lines of the modern thought process of "I have a right to do what I want and screw the rest of ye".

The modern societal idea with a lot of people is rights with no responsibilities.

I see what you did there. You re-framed me responding to people claiming they have "privacy rights" or a "right to privacy" (what is a right? Something you can vindicate in law.) as if it was about misquoting laws. I must be living in your head rent-free if that's the case. Go on, start the thread you were asked to start. Reframe it as laws... I dare you.

Both of these articles are a joke. "Can"..................... think about that...... "can". Where is the proof that they did? Its not about being dumb, its about the fact that maps can be wrong, out of date and they use real world factors not seen on maps like CCTV, gate defences, alarms, lights, dogs, humans as their considerations. How do we know this? Go to the crime prevention seminars where the Gardai go through actual confessions where they require people to give full details about how they planned their crime. I have no fears for the intelligence of criminals. I do have fears for the intelligence of some people posting here though. The two publications have no reality filter in their journalism, just drivel that they know their readers will want to hear. You have got to be kidding.

You keep on saying that there are searchable features with tool shed being the worst. The mappers told you on the other thread (devoted to the same issue) that those were written in error, and would be removed.

Farmers want there buildings labeled only as “agricultural building”

What about a Biological research facility, should this be labeled as "Industrial Building"?

Should we have generic terms for a Catholic Church and Church of Ireland? What about a Mosque.

The crux of the whole thing is freedom of speech. This freedom can be very inconvenient, but it is a fundamental human right which should not be eroded. In my lifetime I have already seen several rights taken under the guise of either security or privacy. But a society without Freedom of speech soon turns into a Taliban or Nazi controlled one.

emaherx and greysides might be promoting OSM as a target today, but where does it stop, soon they'd be advocating for certain people to wear a yellow star so that neighbors could keep there distance from them. Or it could be having women cover their faces and wear a Burka because they might be a distraction to other men.

Do ye remember a time when you could go on Air travel to any part of the EU and many Holiday destinations with nothing more than a boarding-pass/Ticket?

Poor comment Sir, is this just fishing for likes/thanks?

Best have me Moderated so, just like the Nazi's used to do

Covid reference? where?

It's only slander if it isn't true. If a shed that is a machinery shed is labeled as a Machinery shed then as you imply it's not a problem.

Its a legal tactic, you threaten them, its a signal they will be financially destroyed if they dont comply.

I think you mean its a bluff, a poker play. Like saying maps cause crime.....

I believe this is a reference to the need for a covid vaccine code and/or PCR/antigen test. If it's something else I apologise for the assumption but please tell me what you were inferring

My GDPR quote directly related to your assertion that "The dept of Agriculture has detailed maps of all agricultural holdings, those same maps are available to anyone by requesting through the freedom of Information Act." and If you want you a can pay the likes of espacial to provide similar information, but they charge, at least openstreetmap is free.

Regarding SFP. No one other that DAFM staff and my advisor have access to the information contained within my application incl land parcel details and other features on my private property. The only features labelled on my DAFM SFP application map are roads, individual parcel numbers, yard, scrub, historical archaeological site and lake. Individual buildings are not labelled neither is my house identified. You state that anyone can scroll and see the details of their land but also their neighbours land that constitutes their SFP application. "Check your own Sfp parcels, look at the detailed information on the maps. Houses, farm buildings are identified. Then scroll the map and look at the next farm, again building information is recorded on the Map, not the owner just the building type."

The only people with access to my SFP application maps are DAFM.
