[Talk-us] SEO Damage to OSM

2017-07-07 Thread maning sambale 
Hi,

Our team came across duplicated highways like this:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/144422919/.
Based on the latest changeset, this is probably due to the revertion
of the SEO spam.
We documented the issue here: https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/310
