Worldcoin No Longer Offering Orb-verification in India, Brazil and France

Worldcoin is no longer offering its Orb-verification service in India, Brazil and France, just months after the crypto startup expanded the helmet-shaped eyeball-scanning device to those markets. From a report: Tools for Humanity, the foundation that oversees development of Worldcoin, exclusively told TechCrunch in a statement that it had expanded the Orb to many markets this year for a "limited time access." The sudden retreat, however, comes as a surprise. Worldcoin had opened pop-up kiosks in many parts of India to onboard new users to the platform and drove crowds as people lined up to sign up and collect the free tokens.

Scam a hundred million desperate people from a developing nation with your pyramid scheme that has the added bonus of weaponising biometric data.

All for a bunch of worthless tokens.

Shit like this would make me steer clear of his collaboration with Microsoft, OpenAI.
