I think it's an abuse of the act to take a massive amount of information via FOIA and publish an interactive map.

You think the map is silly and irrelevant. I think it's the crux of the problem and the argument/discussion.
I don't think attacking the map will do anything and thus is irrelevant. The paper seems to be enjoying the reaction, maybe not as much anymore since they hired guards after getting death threats, but they show no interest in taking it down. You need to go after what is allowed with FOIA releases to actually cause real change. Hell, you could make the map illegal and they would have to remove it. Instead, what has been accomplished, is giving the paper a ton more publicity.
