World’s Iris-Scanning Tech Misunderstood, Data Never Leaves Orb, Advisor Says

Worldcoin’s eyeball-scanning orbs face backlash—yet insiders claim biometrics stay locked inside the hardware. No cloud leaks, no Big Brother handoffs. Just a shiny black sphere swallowing your iris patterns whole.

Privacy advocates aren’t buying it. Neither are regulators—three countries already banned the devices. But the project’s advisors double down: ’This isn’t some data-hungry AI startup. The orb is the endpoint.’

Meanwhile in finance circles: ’At least it’s not another stablecoin promising 20% yields before imploding.’ The crypto crowd knows a Ponzi when they see one—but dystopian surveillance tech? That’s apparently still up for debate.
