Both. Again, it's a genealogical database. Click on a link fo a
paticular person.
If that person is deceased, OR you are logged in and you are closely
related to that person, you can see the locations of events in that
person's life.

If the person is living, and you are not logged in or not closely
related, you see a comment about privacy restrictions and almost
nothing else.

To make a map appear in the latter case without markers would require
modification of complicated software, making it difficult for me to
get updates from the developers of that software. The former case,
however, probably covers 95% or more of the page views.

To disable the privacy features would be a very uncivilized thing to
do.
