Disclosure: I’m like, 70% optimistic about the project. I don’t believe that the team are lying. Anyway, as with many things, time will tell. I wouldn’t get worked up over it. If it fails it’s pretty inconsequential.
That would be really crazy if the team behind a crypto startup just lied about their business and intentions - certainly has never happened before!
Why not?

Definitely, it only collected the biometrics of thousands of desperate people into the hands of private people who work with law enforcement agencies everywhere to provide surveillance as a service.
After collecting everyone's biometric "ID", that database can be helpfully leased to Peter Thiel's (one of the early investors) wonderful surveillance machines, so now when the officer pulls you over "for a broken taillight", their body camera can get a nice view of your iris and buy your entire worldcoin history from say Palentir, for a price of course, and zero warrant.
Thanks for proving my point that virtually all criticisms stem from people misunderstanding or not putting in the effort to learn how it actually works.
You don’t know this for a fact, is it an audited open source project and the security/privacy vouched by some known people in the field? No. It’s just marketing crap
