Reddit is in talks to use Worldcoin's iris scanning device Orb.

BlockBeats News, June 20th, according to Semafor, Reddit is in talks to use Sam Altman's Worldcoin-owned iris scanning device Orb.

According to two sources familiar with the matter, World ID may soon become a way for Reddit users to remain anonymous on the platform while verifying themselves as unique individuals. The discussions between Reddit and World ID's parent company, Tools for Humanity, highlight the growing market for new identity verification technologies, as artificial intelligence fills online platforms with fake content and governments around the world consider enacting new age verification laws to prevent children and teenagers from accessing social media.

If World ID becomes one of Reddit's third-party providers, it will be good news for Tools for Humanity, an organization founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing a universal basic income to the world through the use of a cryptocurrency called Worldcoin, in exchange for using Orb to scan eyeballs.
