Question re: Origin Based Security Model (FEP-fe34)

28d 3h ago in technical-discussion@activitypub.space

@julian @silverpill we did not define this well in ActivityPub.

There's an implicit authorization model (creator can write the object, addressees can read and react) which will probably be more explicit in the next version, but we'd leave open other types of authorization.

I think it's likely in the future we'll have a property for defining additional access control options.

Same-origin is a good guess but it's not as good as explicit properties.

@Auster @NorskSud archive.org has a wonderful permanent s3-compatible API which would be great for this.

I bet @internetarchive would help out with this if software developers or administrators wanted to use it.

@julian I find the GitHub scans pretty helpful, but I guess there are more specific bugs that people report.

@julian This seems like something you could do yourself, and cut out the middleman.

@faab64 @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com Propaganda. Western media has been portraying Palestinian people as irrational, bloodthirsty terrorists since at least the 1970s.
