When it's active, it makes your defederations more effective by preventing blocked servers from accessing your server's posts.

There's a good unofficial article describing what it does at https://hub.sunny.garden/2023/06/28/what-does-authorized_fetch-actually-do

It used to have a reputation for breaking compatibility, but I've been using it for several years and haven't encountered any problems.
