Becuse he's a freak, who the fuck scans people's eyes
A few years ago most people would have said the same about fingerprint reading or face scanning, and yet we're living in a world where it is completely standard now
> The capture of biometric data has become common in contexts of migration, where iris-scanning is a precondition to receiving humanitarian aid. In 2019, the United Nations World Food Program partnered with the firm Palantir to optimize these operations, which today affect 160 million people in 120 countries. Haha what in the hell
Not that crazy - corruption and malfeasance are primary risks to your effective yield when trying to distribute aid like that. Middle-men and middle-women inevitably appear, one to one authentication is one way to keep them away.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It kinda sounds like increasing from AES-128 to AES-256 as a mitigation when the actual threat is social engineering. So people need to provide retinal scans now - and how does that prevent thugs from robbing/coercing them shortly after?
The problem being solved here is a single person taking an aid package several times for reselling. You can't solve everything, I guess?

How many body parts can be scanned for a unique fingerprint? I can see at least another five or six coins out of this idea, some pretty shocking :-)

Is it just me or does Worldcoin just seem like a massive ploy to get one's hands on a ton of biometric data? Scan your eyes and get $20 in funny money that may or may not be redeemable later. The coin will crash and burn like all the others leaving Sam with a treasure trove of biometrics data to do whatever he wants with.
