Question re: Origin Based Security Model (FEP-fe34)

@julian said: A strict reading of this does not preclude the ability of a same-origin moderator to modify and delete the object. This is my argument. I think I'd ask here is why is the Delete/Update coming from the moderator, instead of from the account that posted the thing, since that account is the owner of that thing?

    @thisismissem isn't that the correct way to communicate this across the wire? The moderator is deleting the post, not the author, so the moderator is the Delete's actor. You could fake this by federating out an update or delete as though it came from the original author, which would be a most compatible way to do things, but it isn't necessarily right.
