How is OpenStreetMap (I assume when you say "OpenStreet Maps" you mean
"OpenStreetMap") trying "to privatize geography and public space and
information"?   Not trying to start an argument here; this just seems
completely contrary to what I know of OpenStreetMap, whose data is licensed
under https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/
