> the iris code needs to be compared against all other iris codes of humans who have verified before
https://whitepaper.worldcoin.org/technical-implementation
There are many valid objections to #Worldcoin, but this one is foundational. They have to store the data of _everyone_ who ever does an iris scan forever.
This, then is where many other objectionable things come from:
* storing that much SPII data makes them an attractive target
* "all information that you collect, you will eventually store; all data that you store will eventually be misused" -- my old information systems instructor
* "Hi, I'm $EMPLOYEE from $SECRET_GOVT_AGENCY. We're issuing a secret order to turn over iris scan and other data about $PERSON by tomorrow at 8AM."
* did I mention "trust us, we will only use this for good"?
Yeah. No matter what, don't fall for #Worldcoin. Avoid it forever.
