## ⚠️ Ethical Considerations
|
67 |
+
|
68 |
+
- All content is in the public domain and CC0-licensed.
|
69 |
+
- Speakers are volunteers; synthesized voices should not be used in misleading or impersonating contexts.
|
70 |
+
- Encourage transparency when using in generative applications (e.g., voice assistants, synthetic speech).
