No, in this case they are talking about consent about where their public posts are scraped to. I was quoting and replying to this part:
- "Bluesky said that it’s looking at ways to enable users to communicate their consent preferences externally, though it’s up to those parties whether they respect those preferences. The company posted: “Bluesky won’t be able to enforce this consent outside of our systems. It will be up to outside developers to respect these settings. We’re having ongoing conversations with engineers & lawyers and we hope to have more updates to share on this shortly!”.
Yes, this particular feature isn’t effective at stopping content from going somewhere unwanted, but I think the main design goal of bsky and the AT protocol isn’t that.
