Portugal’s data regulator, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), has imposed a 90-day suspension on Worldcoin’s biometric data collection activities in the country, citing complaints about the unauthorized collection of data from minors, inadequate communications regarding their iris-scanning Orb program...
No Jornal Económico, explicamos porque sentimos que a CNPD deve fazer mais a propósito da #Worldcoin: suspender preventivamente a sua atividade (tal como em Espanha) e informar os cidadãos em vez de os mandar ir ler os "termos e condições".
Github should integrate #WorldCoin and optionally offer a setting for repos to only allow verified humans to interact with it. Fucking spam is getting out of hand
Diese Woche war ich mit einem Freund im Saturn-Laden, uns wurde ein "woww super Gratisgeschenk zomg folgt mir unauffällig" eines Mitarbeiters (?) versprochen.
Stellte sich raus es war ein #Worldcoin-Startetpaket mit $hitgeld. Man musste dafür nur: Seine Telefonnummer, Apple-ID/Mail, Diverse Einverständnisse und einen Iris (&3D-Gesichts?)-Scan hergeben.
"Noch sind es nur X Euro wert, aber Geheimtip: Behaltet es noch, das wird mehr".
@supergarv Ich konnte mit #Worldcoin zunächst nichts anfangen. Die Befragung der Suchmaschine meiner Wahl förderte dann einen Beitrag[1] von #ZDF heute zu Tage, in welchem Ricardo Macieira, der Worldcoin-Europachef, wie folgt zitiert wird:
"Bei der Registrierung [...] müssen Nutzer den Angaben zufolge weder Namen, Adresse oder Telefonnummer nennen."
Deine Beobachtung ist mal wieder ein hervorragendes Beispiel für die Abweichung von #Theorie und #Praxis. 🤷
Wenn ich nur höre dass meine Iris gescannt wird und diese Informationen dann in einer Datenbank gespeichert werden, egal in welcher Form☝🏻, stellen sich meine Nackenhaare blitzartig auf.
What even is the #tech industry? Why is Netflix a tech company but not Disney? Doesn't Amazon have more in common with WalMart than with #Twitter?
I propose that the "tech industry" isn't that useful a way to think about it, and that by figuring out what a tech company is, we can better understand two strange tech stories: #worldcoin and Twitter's rebrand.
A post in which I finally do something useful with my wasted years interacting with venture capitalists:
Sam Altman wants to scan all of our irises with his Worldcoin Orbs, and promises we’ll get a ton of benefits beyond a few crypto tokens if we let him.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to @molly0xfff about the real ambitions of the Worldcoin project, and we briefly discussed why Sam Bankman-Fried was just sent to prison. It might have crashed, but crypto isn’t dead yet.
