Wait - so you are saying that information on the public internet isn’t public? Man, I wish people would remember the origin of the web and the entire reason it exists. If you don’t want information public, protect it - otherwise, I say it’s fair game.

Honestly, I am not even sure _how_ they would fix the system(s) they complain most about? Assume Yann is wrong and Timnit is right, what is the proposal for fixing the bias that somehow is inherent in the system?
