Worldcoin Raises Privacy Concerns as Biometric ID Model Sparks Debate

Sam Altman’s World, a project aiming to verify human uniqueness through iris scans and distribute its WLD token globally, has drawn significant scrutiny for its biometric identification system. Critics argue that Worldcoin’s approach undermines decentralized principles by relying on centralized hardware and control over data pipelines. 🤯 While the project asserts it utilizes privacy-preserving technologies like multiparty computation and zero-knowledge proofs, concerns remain about the risk of increasing data centralization and potential misuse of user information.
