[GitHub] [superset] pradhangn opened a new issue #13073: International boundaries on mapbox-based visualizations: Legal issues

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

pradhangn opened a new issue #13073:
URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/13073


   ### Problem:
   Each country has legal regulations on what boundaries you can display on a map (eg. India, China). Due to disputes there are differing boundary definitions in each jurisdiction. Currently Superset shows a default mapbox country boundary which would violate Indian and Chinese and possibly other countries laws.
   
   This means companies or users who make dashboards or share screenshots of mapbox visualizations from superset will be subject to legal backlash.
   
   ### Solution:
   
   Mapbox offers a solution through their world views feature:
   Blog: https://blog.mapbox.com/dynamically-change-disputed-national-borders-14c820cae923
   Code example: https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/toggle-worldviews/
   
   We can use this mapbox feature in 2 ways:
   
   1. A system setting to control the world-view option via superset config file: simple change
   2. Add ability to change worldview in each visualization that uses mapbox: larger scope
   
   ### Alternatives
   We don't have an alternative that will follow the law of all jurisdictions
