Worldcoin wants to scan the irises of every person on the planet to build a global ID network to bring crypto to the masses and ensure we’re not AI — or that’s what it claims.
Behind the grand vision, there’s a history of exploiting people in the Global South for biometric data and tech that doesn’t actually work very well. Maybe it’s just a means to pump a crypto token, but there’s good reason for regulators to shut it down now.
