New Privacy Guides article ️
by me:
Last week, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman
announced his ambitious plan for the World project, formerly known as Worldcoin.
The company opened 6 stores where people can go to get their biometric data collected from a creepy iris scanner called The Orb.
But this isn't just a cryptocurrency grift anymore, this is much more dystopian.
In this article, I describe the risk of using such service, the unethical practices the World project has been employing to gather numbers, and how this is a slippery slope towards the normalization of mass surveillance we should all worry about.
Say NO to the Orb!
Don't scan your eyeballs!

Collecting biometrics for
supposedly flawless identification purposes is a false good idea.
Once it gets leaked, and it will inevitably at some point, this identification becomes reproducible and therefore useless. It only seems like a good idea now because not enough of it has been leaked everywhere yet. Yet...
Keep this in mind.
Protect your biometric data as much as feasible: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/112572992216366084
Tiny Privacy Tip :
Biometric data is one of the
most sensitive type of data you have.
Why?
You cannot change biometric data like you can change a password.
If your password gets leaked,
you can change it easily
If your email gets leaked,
it's a pain but you can change it
If your phone number gets leaked,
it's an even bigger pain but you still can change it
But when your fingerprints, facial print, voice print, keystroke pattern get leaked?
It's game over
You cannot change any of these.
Ever.
You should be extremely careful about where you are sharing your biometric data and how it is protected.
For all biometrics,
preventive protection is vital.
