| Most people right now do not want their social media data in world/anonymous-read mode nor want Ai accessing it and doing things with it. |

I stopped using ATProto after the revelations that they hid their VC raise from the community for almost a year (and some other things, straw eventually breaks a camel's back) - and almost all social media, which is a (mild) trend aiui. Setting aside contemporary political dynamics, there is also the possibility for robust data rights laws that can change the game. |

| Nothing about this requires world-readable data, privacy can be its own layer. FriendFeed[1] did this well back in the day: it aggregated your feeds and let you control who saw each one. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FriendFeed |

Personally, I find the permission proposal rather lacking (ACL vs the advancements / learning since) and user requested features will require building auth enhancements at the app level, thereby creating a form of centralization. | | |
