Worldcoin has 100m active users‽ That seems really high.

No, it doesn’t
Maybe that's one user per eyeball scanned. 🤔
Given they had 450,000 scanned people last year in 2022, 100 million ‘active users’ seems unrealistic today.
In 2022 “Worldcoin reported scanning 450,000 eyes, faces, and bodies in 24 countries. Of those, 14 were developing nations while Eight were located in Africa.” The scary part is their goal is to scan 1 Billion people by the end 2023. 😬
They use such deceptive marketing tactics with a “social assistance giveaway” scheme and collect more personal data than it acknowledges and fails to obtain meaningful informed consent. 🤢
