Isn't he also the one wanting to scan everyone's eyeballs?

you mean how google scans everyone's fingerprints and apple scans everyone's faces?

I think it is quite different though, in that biometric-as-a-device-authenticator features keep your biometric data on your device. The plan with worldcoin is to create a central database of this data.

Supposedly Worldcoin deletes your biometric data after it's done generating a hash of it. If you don't believe that, then why would you believe that Google and Apple don't secretly send your fingerprints and facial scans off device?

Biometric data as authentication vs. differentiate my shitcoin so I can get in on the crypto grift.

Yes, that's how he means it. What's your point? Make a point.

So that puts him in good company?

... Are you implying all biometric data is equal? Strange take.

If fingerprints and faces are the same as retinas, where do you draw the line - or is there just no privacy line for you anywhere, as long as a billionaire somewhere is making lots of money?
