Bluesky's ATProto community has proposed a Permissioned Data framework to extend the protocol beyond its current public broadcast model, enabling users to share selective data with specific applications or users. The proposal outlines a shift from universally addressable records toward granular access controls while maintaining user ownership of data.
Background
ATProto (Authenticated Transfer Protocol) is the underlying protocol powering Bluesky social, currently supporting only public broadcast-style data sharing. This proposal represents a significant architectural evolution toward private and permissioned data interactions.
