Is world’s biometric ID model a threat to self-sovereignty?

World aims to verify identity using iris scans but is criticized for being centralized and invasive. Experts argue that true decentralization prioritizes user control and privacy, which is lacking in World’s approach. Critics warn this model may deepen inequalities and create surveillance risks.

World is under scrutiny from global regulators concerned about the safety of biometric data and user consent. Legal challenges highlight issues arising from the model’s reliance on sensitive data, prompting debates on the implications of its technology for individual privacy.
