What’s to protect against false/bad/malicious data?

  OSM edits have been an "optimistic lock" -- changes are deemed good until they are proven not good.. all changes in OSM have an author ID associated, so that they can search and "rollback" bad changes.. it has been that way since the beginning.. post-New York renamed and a few other embarrassments, there are new steps added for verification, by some workflows, but it is in transition AFAIK
