>I'm not sure that it's scary. After all, casual racism and sexism used to be a lot more common in the past. Now people are called out and criticized on those. Is that bad?
Isn't it scary or least worrying that 40 percent of Americans reported that they did not feel free to speak their minds? Or are you implying they belong to the group who participated in casual racism and sexism that used to be a lot more common in the past and now people (majority of the other 60%) are calling them out and criticize them on those hence concluding not scary and perhaps good?

Some of them do, yes.
However, "The other factor is the rise of internet social media, which didn't exist back then." In the past, there was no such thing as being afraid of speaking your mind on social media. You were typically speaking your mind in private, among friends and family. This very conversation that we're having now would have never occurred in 1957, or even 1987.
I would argue having significant part of a society whether right or wrong in anyone's view having their thoughts not disclosed and represented to the rest of the society should be worrying for everyone in that society.
The history of our nature has shown self-censorship usually erupts by the most radicals of that group which is an uglier problem to have I would think than allowing their right or wrong thoughts to be out in the light.

This to me only highlights the extend to which we should be worried rather than exaggerating it.
After sharing this project on Twitter I got some feedbacks about requirement for api. I think if I will get more requests I will build an api and give access to it with monthly subscription.
Well done on deploying your side project. Looks shiny.
+ The quality of the pictures really pay off, how did you get access to such good quality photoes?
- The descriptions are missing for some dishes. Maybe adding some ingridients would help?
- If I like a food I would like to know which resturant makes them well near me. You don't have that feature yet. That makes me think, what is the purpose of foodieadvice? Just national dishes?
- Most likely I as a tourist am looking for the food while touring, doesn't this make more sense to be a mobile app?
Qs:
* How are you planning to make money? Linking resturnats as an add to a dish would be the obvious way, have you thought of that?
* How come you went for cities/countries and not just country?
Now this is where the public data gets confusing. If I use open maps API and build my database, how can it be proved that via which API (Google Maps or Open Maps) it has been built to be accused?
That will probably come down to how well your defense is against Google's lawyers.
Now, I'm not a lawyer but I have read and been involved in my fair share of contracts. My understanding is that you might not be able to claim negligence that you were unaware or you were not sure. They might ask you to take down the entire database if you have not proof which data is from which API.
Can you give a quick summary of how it works and what technologies and sources you are using for generating the graph?
I will be checking the github.
EDIT: Looking at the source code and resources looks like a lot of manual information gathering and hard coded URLs. Am I right or is there something more automated and smart happening that I am missing?
