Did you sell your identity to WorldCoin?

To begin with, it is important to clarify that Worldcoin receives your biometric data, in this case your iris, and that is not equivalent to selling your identity. Your identity is the unique and multifaceted essence that defines you as a person, while your biometric data (Iris, fingerprints, facial recognition, biometric signature) is specific physical and biological information.

Although sharing our iris scan may cause concern, it is important to remember that biometric data such as fingerprints and facial recognition are already widely used on various platforms, such as in banks for payments and registrations.

Despite wanting to keep certain personal information private, we must be aware that companies like Google can access aspects of our digital lives through cloud services. They have access to our photos, contacts and passwords, in addition to having permission to our phone's camera even when we are not using it.

On the other hand, the use of iris scanning is currently not common as a verification method, which reduces the risk of vulnerability to hacking. Worldcoin encrypts iris data and agrees not to sell or share this information, offering an additional layer of security for users.

Currently it would be more worrying to sell our fingerprint.

The purpose of $WLD is to create an accessible digital identity for all of us and facilitate financial inclusion around the world. Technology advances, and we with it, let's not stay in the past.
