You are absolutely right to focus on the fact that the current crop of payment processors are an absolute privacy disaster: that's a meaningful part of why crypto is important—and attractive—to many. But the way to fix that is not another boring bitcoin clone (plus orb worship). — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

The privacy techniques come into play in Phase 2. While they're clever and appreciated (ZKPs!), they can't address the trust problem of somebody snarfing biometrics. Maybe you don't save timestamps. Maybe you don't correlate bluetooth/wifi/whatever w enrollment. But you could. — PolitiTweet.org

With respect, the docs say the "sequencer nodes" save the hashes (identifiers) produced by scanning people's eyes to your database. Apple does not, IIRC, catalog raw bio hashes—they're encrypted on-device (via enclave). The result of Worldcoin's "Phase 1" is an eyeball catalog. https://t.co/0sRhcXhEJs — PolitiTweet.org

@Timccopeland No, it's a lot more complicated than that. — PolitiTweet.org

VC guys keep trying to make cryptocurrency a global standard by spending billions to invent less-attractive versions of Bitcoin, instead of just buying payment-system companies to make the most common cash registers and apps support crypto payments by default. Pro-gamer move. — PolitiTweet.org

"We use ZK-proofs!" Great, clever. Still bad. The human body is not a ticket-punch. — PolitiTweet.org

Don't use biometrics for anti-fraud. In fact, don't use biometrics for anything. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

This looks like it produces a global (hash) database of people's iris scans (for "fairness"), and waves away the implications by saying "we deleted the scans!" Yeah, but you save the *hashes* produced by the scans. Hashes that match *future* scans. Don't catalogue eyeballs. — PolitiTweet.org

It is crucial to bear in mind that the industry's problem is not data "protection," it is data COLLECTION. Mass surveillance must be recognized as a crime, not a business model. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

European lawmakers, data regulators, and privacy authorities must recognize that It is time to revise your approach to the internet giants, who have for the entirety of the post-2013 era actively, intentionally sabotaged the process of reform. https://t.co/PC41gZm6EY — PolitiTweet.org

This is my way of saying that if you're a university student pursuing agricultural science, I wish you a long and happy life. We don't deserve you. — PolitiTweet.org

Sometimes I try to imagine a world where scientific young minds enjoyed greater rewards for revolutionizing, like, farming methods, manufacturing, or energy, rather than the dark patterns used to optimize ad-clicks at Google and Facebook. How did we get here? — PolitiTweet.org
