@actualham@social.coop @nyhan@fediscience.org When I was moderator of an alternative lifestyles web forum (and this was near 20 years ago!) I noticed a lot of "hippy" parents who were home educating their kids (here in England) slowly get sucked into making increasing use of USA-sourced resources with a lot of subtle (and not so subtle!) Christian indoctrination, simply because these were free (and it pushed these folk slowly but surely towards the right wing)

@vfrmedia@social.tchncs.de @nyhan@fediscience.org yeah free is not the same as open. I would also argue that free and openly-licensed is not the same as "open" as I understand it. This is all going to be even thornier as AI scrapes everything and regurgitates it out as free and public domain. Becomes even more important to really name what we think is important about our vision for the future of "open" education.
