Vitalik Buterin Raises Concerns About Worldcoin's Orb Authentication, Highlighting Privacy and Security

Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin has expressed concerns about Worldcoin's user authentication system, ProofofPersonhood (PoP). Buterin highlights potential issues with privacy, accessibility, centralization, and security. He argues that scanning iris for authentication could release unintended information and that obtaining an Orb device for World IDs may be difficult. Buterin also raises concerns about the potential for backdoors and security breaches. He acknowledges that there is no perfect solution to these issues and discusses different paradigms for proof of personhood.
