It is attracting an average of over 20,000 new users monthly, which has made Spain the fastest-growing market in the European Union. <\/p>\n<p>World ID aims to provide an AI-safe proof-of-personhood credential. The goal is to enable people to digitally prove their uniqueness and humanity.<\/p>\n<p>Worldcoin\u2019s presence in Spain continues to grow, now including Barcelona. A new selection of Worldcoin Operator locations throughout the city will feature the Orb, the first custom biometric imaging device developed by Tools for Humanity (TFH). <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/s32659.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-93-850x573.png\" alt=\"Worldcoin World ID: The Orb\" class=\"lazy wp-image-349032 lazyload\" width=\"850\" height=\"573\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Orb. Source: Worldcoin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite the impressive uptake of World ID, Worldcoin has been subject to criticism, particularly on privacy grounds. <\/p>\n<h2>Is Worldcoin Safe? Spectators Grows Concerned <\/h2>\n<p>Since the project\u2019s unveiling in June 2021, it has been accused of posing risks to privacy. Skeptics have expressed concerns about the potential misuse of biometric data, the use of zero-knowledge proof technology, and the future implications of quantum computing. <\/p>\n<p>MIT Technology Review conducted numerous interviews with participants involved in the initial Worldcoin onboarding process. The conclusions drawn from their findings were decidedly unfavorable.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cOur investigation revealed wide gaps between Worldcoin\u2019s public messaging, which focused on protecting privacy, and what users experienced. We found that the company\u2019s representatives used deceptive marketing practices, collected more personal data than it acknowledged, and failed to obtain meaningful informed consent.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In response, Worldcoin has been keen to emphasize its privacy-preserving approach. It insisted that scans are immediately deleted unless users choose to share their data.<\/p>\n<p>Worldcoin\u2019s ambitious project culminates in the upcoming launch of the Worldcoin token. In return for their data, users will receive Worldcoin tokens via an airdrop. Worldcoin plans to give these token holders governance rights, allowing them to influence the future of the project.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear-both p-3 my-5 border rounded-md notice text-4 border-grey-500 font-body dark:border-grey-700\">\n<h3 class=\"mb-3 font-medium leading-none text-blue-700 uppercase dark:text-lime-600 text-4 lg:font-bold lg:text-5\">Disclaimer<\/h3>\n<p>In adherence to the Trust Project guidelines, BeInCrypto is committed to unbiased, transparent reporting.
