You heard that right. Earlier today, the Kenyan police conducted raids on several warehouses, alleging that the activities within the Worldcoin warehouses posed significant risks of violating local data collection laws. All the small, seemingly inconspicuous orbs present in these facilities were confiscated. This incident has raised suspicions that the project in question might have intentionally targeted individuals in developing nations, with the apparent objective of enticing them to become users in order to expand their databases and eventually exploit them for their data.
This situation not only signifies potential legal violations, but it also seems to raise concerns about the project's main intentions.
The usage of the term "orbs" to describe the items seized during the raid possibly indicates that they might have been unassuming on the surface, but their significance and potential impact on data privacy cannot be underestimated. It honestly seems as if the company or organization behind this initiative might have exploited the vulnerabilities and socioeconomic conditions of 3rd world individuals, viewing them as a potential resource to bolster their user base and entice investors from the 1st world countries around the world to simply buy into their scam of a token.
It is crucial to investigate the exact nature of the project and the motives driving it behind the scenes. The unfair power dynamics between developed and developing nations in the digital landscape is widening with the modern financial revolution. Selling a story that isn't true to an uneducated individual is equivalent to fraud, but nobody will prosecute them as most of these court systems outside of 1st world countries don't have the resources to even imagine how it'd be like having a multi-year-long trial against something like this orbs project.
Some don't care about privacy, but this is where it all starts. It starts with privacy infringements and then the next thing you know is that they're blackmailing you with such data, and there'd be nothing you could do about it. You might think this seems far-fetched but it will be the natural order of events if we don't watch Worldcoins' next steps very carefully.
Apart from the organisations' best efforts to stay out of the U.S, they're also trying to stay out of the UK. This is so that they'll implement the orb all around the world, apart from the influencial economies until it becomes so 'mainstream' to the point where it'd be forced upon the western countries without them even having a choice. It's very dislikeable as to how boring of a future this project tries to create. Nobody wants to sit home and do nothing for the rest of their lives. Nobody. Not even your cat. Your cat wants to have adventure but you restrict it from having adventure. Just like how humans will become cats if this project becomes successful.
Don't buy into the scam, and most importantly, don't buy the BS they're selling you.
Back to the matter at hand, the Kenyan police had stated that they were searching the equipment for data they were not permitted to collect. So far there's been no further response from the Kenyan police as it's not even been a full day yet. Crazy how fast the news spreads.
