New Privacy Guides article 👁️⛔️
by me:
Last week, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman
announced his ambitious plan for the World project, formerly known as Worldcoin.
The company opened 6 stores where people can go to get their biometric data collected from a creepy iris scanner called The Orb.
But this isn't just a cryptocurrency grift anymore, this is much more dystopian.
In this article, I describe the risk of using such service, the unethical practices the World project has been employing to gather numbers, and how this is a slippery slope towards the normalization of mass surveillance we should all worry about.
Say NO to the Orb!
Don't scan your eyeballs! 👁️🙅♀️
