Can you trademark a generic word like "World"?? I should hope not.

And nope you're not scanning my eyeballs.

I absolutely don't want to have a centralised identity online. In fact I have many identities and I like to keep it that way. I'm never going to cooperate with this.

I was at a US airport recently where TSA is piloting some sort of facial scanning (facial recognition? retina?). People have the option to refuse, but everyone I saw seemed to comply without a thought.

Unless we talk about privacy, why would they do otherwise?

Unless privacy is enforced via legislation -- something that seems tremendously unlikely -- I don't think we will have any; data brokers are out of control.
