Saw this on HackerNews via @hn50@social.lansky.name

My Mastodon post about it & @watmildon@en.osm.town's reply linking to OpenStreetMap's documentation with an example to find banks far away from police stations

I don't see a problem with this, seems perfectly reasonable an API that let's you query whatever you want. By drawing attention to this you might get some "easily offendable people" to notice OSM and make a fuzz about this which will result in a worse API for everybody.
