Reddit is in talks to use Orb, an iris scanning device from Sam Altman's Worldcoin.
According to two people familiar with the matter, World ID could soon become a way for Reddit users to verify that they are unique individuals while remaining anonymous on the platform. Talks between representatives of Reddit and World ID parent company Tools for Humanity highlight the growing market for new authentication technology as artificial intelligence floods web platforms with fake content, while governments around the world are considering new age verification laws to prevent children and teens from accessing social media.
If World ID becomes one of Reddit's third-party providers, it would be great news for Tools for Humanity, an organization founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing universal basic income by offering the world a cryptocurrency called Worldcoin in exchange for using Orb to scan eyeballs.
