While I'm a huge supporter of #linguistic diversity, I'm a little cold on Meta's Language Technology Partner Program. It aims to get language communities to speech training #data, for free, with the promise Meta will release trained models "open source". about.fb.com/news/2025/02...

I’m not an expert on the Charter, and I am a staunch and vehement champion of freedom of thought and expression. But I’m pretty sure along with hate speech/incitement to violence, straight up sedition is not a protected charter right. dailyhive.com/canada/billb...
