    Wow, I’m shocked that they’re going to sell the biometric data to anyone who wants it. Well, not that shocked. Actually, not shocked at all.

    That’s like Equifax saying “good news, we’re keeping a credit report on everyone!”

    I feel like I am missing something about how this works.

    Take this use case “ Companies could pay Worldcoin to use its digital identity system, for example if a coffee shop wants to give everyone one free coffee, then Worldcoin’s technology could be used to ensure that people do not claim more than one coffee without the shop needing to gather personal data, Macieira said.”

    What is stopping someone from showing up with 2 IDs and claiming 2 coffees. I dont know how you prove that the person showing up with a coin is the person who was physically scanned. Much less how you prove the person today was the person who was scanned 40 years ago.
