> Even now, it's not clear to me that this is the case. LeCun still hasn't actually acknowledged any of the broader ethical arguments Gebru made, either on twitter or on his followup posts on facebook.

Well, to be fair, she didn't provide Yann with any ethical arguments in this instance.

But being equally fair, you're right, I can't speak for Yann. I can only speak for myself, and I personally agree with most of what I've read of Gebru's work (though not all).

But the issue at hand wasn't the research itself - it's the way the dialogue was conducted on Twitter, and Gebru accounted for herself very poorly.
