Who can read the Microblog?
The readability and visibility fo the Microblog is managed by the read permission of spaces which contain the Microblog topics..
Microposts of a certain topic are only visible to people who have read permissions in spaces which contain the topics.
It does not matter where the Microblog is placed. The visibility is only dependent on the topics and the spaces which accommodate the topics.
