It's a couple days early for Poison d'Avril / April Fools ? Is this serious?

Under the usual rule-of-thumb, to map what's visible on the ground
(signed or built), I'd support this where it is prominently signed as
"Illegal use", in those words or similar. (Or tagged so by a suitably
free Govt GIS file.)

Anything else, an OSM member is making a value judgment and OSM is
publishing it as a fact, which has legal consequences in most
countries. OSM has a legal entity in UK which is democracy most
favorable to libel tourists, where Truth is NOT a defense. (The new
coalition gov't is looking at reform but don't bet you assets on it.)

IANAL (but have enough knowledge to be dangerous)
