Speaking of which, have you tried typing "openstreetmap" into Google? None of the top links actually take you to the homepage where the maps are displayed.
I'm quite shocked. For lack of better explanation this seems like foul play.
Perhaps it comes out differently for you:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=openstreetmap https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=openstreetmap
- huskyr 10y agoI've tried this in a logged-in session, an incognito tab and even in TorBrowser: in all three cases the first result was a link to openstreetmap.org, and the next few hits linked to subdomains, the Wikipedia article or pages explaining the concept. So i guess it's just you.
- frandroid 10y agoComes up first for me.
- majewsky 10y agoFor me, too. I'm on Firefox for Mac in Germany, and it gives me openstreetmap.de and openstreetmap.org as the first two results, then the OSM wiki.
- tompccs 10y agoI've just tested this again, and it seems to only happen when I type the query directly from my Chrome url bar (I'm using Google UK if that makes a difference). Same on Incognito. I get the "Copyright" page at https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright and NO LINK to the homepage anywhere on the front page of results, which seems nuts. https://s33.postimg.org/7iaf0z47j/Screenshot_from_2016_05_25_17_11_01.png https://s33.postimg.org/7iaf0z47j/Screenshot_from_2016_05_25... But copy-pasting the resulting URL into Tor results in a 403 page. Does anyone have a reasonable suggestion for this behaviour?
