#+TITLE: OcapPub: Towards networks of consent
#+AUTHOR: Christopher Lemmer Webber
* Conceptual overview
** ActivityPub
** The mess we're in
** Don't pretend we can prevent what we can't
** Anti-solutions
(Note that things in the anti-solutions category aren't necessarily
"things that aren't useful", but rather "things that end up causing
problems if they're the foundation".)
*** Blocklists, allow-lists, and perimeter security
*** Access Control Lists
*** Content-centric filtering
*** Reputation scoring
*** Going back to centralization
** A way forward: networks of consent
** Must we boil the ocean?
* Key concepts
** Object capabilities (ocaps)
*** Ocaps meet ActivityPub objects/actors
** True names, public profiles, private profiles
** Accountability and revocation in an ocap system
** Rights amplification and group-style permissions
* Future work
** Petnames
* Conclusions
