> I'm assuming it isn't just a matter of grabbing a logo (jpg) from Facebook. I assume iD is sending (meta) data about the person who is simply browsing the map to Facebook (i.e. without disclosing that info is being sent or what data is sent)? Given the scale of the drama, you'd assume that it was something nefarious, but it isn't. iD loads images for brands from Facebook, and nothing more: here's the relevant code https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/blob/66412f0...

Knowing the fundamentals of web security, they were implemented as simple links, with no JavaScript component on the iD side, no 'trackers', nothing of the sort. But some buzz came out about how other Facebook trackers were up to no good, and the OSM community got in a tizzy about how we had in
