Hey Annie!
Have you heard about Worldcoin's new feature called Face Auth?
It's a facial recognition system for identity authentication.๐ฎ
Oh, really?
Sounds interesting.
How does it work exactly?๐ค
So, it uses facial recognition technology to verify a user's identity within the World App.
Basically, it does a 1:1 comparison to make sure the person is who they claim to be.๐ฑ
I see.
What kind of applications will this be used for?๐
It'll be used for online payments, financial transactions, and secure logins.
Only those who have authenticated their World ID through WorldCoin's iris scanning device can access the app.๐ณ
Wow, that sounds pretty secure.
But isn't facial recognition technology controversial?๐
Yeah, it definitely raises privacy concerns.
Critics argue that it compounds data protection issues, especially when it comes to the collection and storage of biometric information.๐ฌ
That makes sense.
Are there any measures in place to protect this sensitive data?๐ก๏ธ
WorldCoin has introduced an SMPC system designed to protect sensitive data.
But the addition of facial recognition has still raised concerns about data management and protection.๐
Hmm, I see.
Are they planning to make the technology more transparent?๐
Yes, they plan to open source the technology later to increase transparency.
But critics say this could pose additional risks if not managed properly.๐
That's a double-edged sword, isn't it?
How many users does WorldCoin have now?๐
WorldCoin has surpassed 6.6 million global users and their expansion is accelerating.๐
Wow, that's a lot!
So, do you think this news is good or bad for the market?๐๐
Honestly, I think it's more of a bad news.
The privacy concerns and potential risks with biometric data management could outweigh the benefits, at least for now.๐
To sum up, this article is considered a ๐ฑBearish for investors!!
