Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Sam Altman's Worldcoin project has come under assault by authorities all over the world. More than a dozen jurisdictions have either suspended the project's operations or looked into its data processing. Worldcoin verifies people by using their irises, which it claims are better at distinguishing humans than fingerprints or faces. While the company says its technology is completely private, authorities are concerned that it could be used to build a global biometric database with little oversight.
