@Korallenherz naja, ernst nehmen kann ich die Gestalten da beim besten Willen nicht, und geschrumpft sind sie auch sehr stark.
Politisch relevant sind sie leider aber dennoch immer noch und bleiben gefährlich.

@kaniini @kaniini Wait a sec, JSON-LD has only been standardised from 2011 on, not talking about AS even. Prism was revealed in 2013, but active at least since 2009.

Seeing user data exports being formatted in AS can be seen as an indication for vendors already having that implemented anyways for handing it to the gov, but that's no proof. An alternative explanation is that GDPR demands machine-readable exports. Devs could've just searched for "social posts serialization", find AS and implement

@kaniini So basically the data normally only available to centralised platform operators (eg ) is now out in the open and trivially available for many. No big difference for NSA in particular (Prism) but still big oof.

One big challenge in protocol design is that all this can also be read as "sign all the things for integrity" if you're not aware of the privacy implications.

@kaniini So you say it's more a mindset and conceptual issue that'll inevitably mess everything up, not the concrete current status quo (except for LD-sigs of course)?

@kaniini The only thing coming to my mind is that due to all of the linking and fetching of sub-parts/ contexts the entity behind that dereferencable URI can know which other instances received a message containing that context.

@kaniini Btw, I still need to read your blog post on JSON-LD. Does that go into details about "JSON-LD => metadata leakage"?

@kaniini @foxhkron You shouldn't blame the person taking that decision to hard, because ActivityPub claimed to be a complete specification. So this non-optimal adoption was preceded by a non-optimal standardisation.
