A biometric password cannot be replaced by the user in case of interception of communications, troyans, or theft of the database where it is stored; once obtained, there is no way back, any service that makes use of a biometric will be compromised forever. Eyes biometrics would force all users to wear glasses with some kind of polarization on a daily basis, and in turn endangers the physical integrity of the user in case of robbery with violence.<p>Also the privacy of the users would be compromised, a biometric is unique ID (during the time you are not sick), that means traceability.<p>All hardware is hackable. Nothing will prevent someone from analyzing the system and creating accounts for the distributed bots.<p>> How do we prove each person is real? Worldcoin’s solution is cataloging every individual over 18 years old through a privacy-preserving protocol, rewarding each person with cryptocurrency, which in turn will become the new global monetary standard.<p>Ignoring the contradictory paragraph about protecting privacy, it sounds like promoting a crypto using a captcha -that will harm the user on long term- as an advertising for trying to take control of fake money. Is this morally upright?<p>> In two investigations, published on back-to-back days in April 2022 by BuzzFeed News and MIT Tech Review, journalists alleged that Worldcoin trials in developing countries were riddled with deceptive promises made both to orb operators and participants. Other allegations included privacy law violations and even corruption.<p>I am not surprised.
