No one that I am aware of, has said or even suggested differently.

And...posting the URL here or anywhere is not a violation of any laws as far
as I know.  If it's visible to anyone, well, it's visible to anyone, and
last time I checked, simply looking at something that is in plain view is
not illegal.  Though, because of current events (terrorism) some people may
want to try to change that...like being told you can't take a picture of a
bridge...
