I can’t believe we have come so far in the world of freebies through crypto currency’s. What is wrong with the peeps? I would never participate in the airdrop like this and it’s seriously personal man. Peeps are literally giving away their identity in the hands of scammers.
Who knows who is behind this project? A big organization who is ready to sell the data so that new fake passports can be made from the same?
Literally only came one thought while reading the entire idea and that’s Airport security check getting easily passed with fake iris on your eyeballs. That’s crazy man. On one hand same peeps are scared to do KYC on reputed gambling sites and yet here we are, giving away the iris scam just like that.

More countries will be coming soon. Worldcoin will not able to leave from the regulators. Those who involved in the shady pratices may be jailed in the future, there's no point in collecting irish data.
Regulators are coming to the world coin. You will be seeing so many countries sued world coin. Those people are so dumb exchanging their personal data for 70 bucks.

What I understand about this Worldcoin is all about privacy harvesting. I don't see the motive of the creator and financiers of this project to be in the interest of humanity. So, the iris scan might just be harvesting biometric data of certain percentage of human population to be used for future purposes which we do not know yet.

Biometric data is considered as sensitive personal data, so the issues you raised are a valid concern. Though, we should also note that some people just did not care about their own personal data or even did not have awareness and comprehension of what risks it may cause and arise if it get leaked. So they would rather get easy money, instead of delve deep to understand how this project actually works first.
A few concerns that you raised like what kind of data they collect, why they choose iris, and such kind of thing is surely already addressed. You can take a look further at their blog to understand deeper the underlying technology and their reasoning why they uses iris: https://worldcoin.org/blog/worldcoin.

Can we believe what they really posted in their blog? I'm just 90% sure those who provide their Biometric data will be in big trouble in future definitely.
Believing such kind of product, where user biometric data is extracted, without the ability or transparency to verify how the underlying system works can be led to a big problem. I'm sure they trying to explain what their product does on the blog but of course, it is for their own benefit and interest.
Here is the page where they claim they have open-sourced the project ecosystem: https://worldcoin.org/open-source. I don't know what is the differences between the green and yellow dots. But there is still some limitation on the open-sourced system, some parts of the code aren't fully being open-sourced(https://github.com/worldcoin/orb-hardware#whats-not-included).

or like the minority report movie where tiny robots check the iris of the people living in one building and those who refuse will be executed by these robots. this world coin is really like the sci fi movie come true but what do we know we are already living the scifi earth.
everyone is even serious a whole bunch of lawmakers have a hearing about UFO existence and that the government was hiding the alien technology. Vatican says nothing.

It is a shame that the very idea of cryptocurrencies is crumbling under the onslaught of such projects and clients who are ready to sell their personal data for a pittance, for 70-80$ shitcoins. This shitcoin perfectly demonstrates that people are ready to tell everything about themselves, to pass any checks if they are promised a small airdrop. Privacy and safety of their personal data has long been out of fashion, and many of those who go there to leave their personal data, do not even know for what purpose cryptocurrency was invented.

So why people don't afraid for this situation. For 70$ they sold their data. What happens if worldcoin use this iris data for illegal activity?
For sure worldcoin who has been founded by legit people wouldnt let that happened. But for some reasomnas a crypto users, you would weigh the possibility of it to have data leaked in the future. Ive mitned their nft on optimistic and eth network, I am hoping for a drop without getting the id through holding those nft. Who knows maybe later on.

Worldcoin is in a weird category right now. It's founded by Sam Altman so it has some degree of legitimacy. The principle of it are noble. The most distinguished part of it and the most controversial one, the iris scanner is what making it both popular and controversial both at a time.
Personally, I don't think we are ready to give one of our most sensitive identification to a company we are not sure about has the necessary measures to secure the data and we can't be sure if they are used for the right cause. Worldcoin should have worked and shown their potent on the field of security and gained the trust before asking for something sensitive like an iris scan. Nevertheless, people are jumping into it and I might take my time to think till that orb travels to my part of world.

it's important to remember that the road to wealth is seldom easy, and often fraught with unexpected pitfalls. In this case, the question of privacy infringement and misuse of data looms large.
While Worldcoin, via their World App, promises a seamless, privacy-preserving, and user-friendly experience, the method of identity verification leaves much to be desired. Iris scans are a potent tool, yes, but they're equally potent when misused.
The key issue here is transparency, or lack thereof. Worldcoin needs to be clear about how they intend to use and protect this sensitive data. Until such clarifications are made, I advise caution.

They never mention why they implemented iris scanner
To achive sybil resistance. There is no way to give UBI (universal basic income) without sybil resistance because in few days there would be 100 billion users, 99% bots.
But no one is thinking about the consequences of this.
I would like to leave a decent quote about worldcoin here:
"If the product is free then YOU are the product.
So what does it mean if the product, is not only free, but pays you?
It seems then your cherished biometric data is the product.
This is how the new Worldcoin retinal scanning “orbs” work."
https://twitter.com/GeorgeGammon/status/1683556303044501506
But the question is also, with the current development of technology and attacks on our privacy from every side, is it not that we are doomed to lose? if not now, in a decade or two, when technology will advance so much that cameras enabling such a scan will be installed at every pedestrian crossing for "our safety". I've always respected my privacy and try to fight every attempt to invade it, but a few days ago I started to wonder if my fight isn't doomed to failure.

So you may be heard this couple of weeks ago. Still it's so hype in the twitter. So wordcoin is offering 70-80$ airdrop for those who own s wordcoin id. To get Id you need to verify you via iris scanner. So right now there are long queue to get a id. Most of people doing this because of that free airdrop. But no one is thinking about the consequences of this. I mean we don't know what will they do the data that they collect from us. They never mention why they implemented iris scanner, what will they do with those data collect from scanning peoples eyes. 
So why people don't afraid for this situation. For 70$ they sold their data. What happens if worldcoin use this iris data for illegal activity?
