If World ID becomes one of Reddit’s third-party providers, it would be good news for Tools for Humanity, which was founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing a universal basic income to the world by offering them cryptocurrency called Worldcoin in exchange for scanning their eyeballs with an Orb.

What the actual fuck.

Seriously how on Earth is that supposed to work?

I read about this a few years ago, and even saw them in a mall in Western EU.

The whole thing is just bio-data mining, and they started by preying on some poor regions in Africa
