Reddit is reportedly in talks to integrate Worldcoinโs iris-scanning device, Orb, for user verification using World ID, according to a June 20 report by Semafor via BlockBeats.
๐ Whatโs Happening?
World ID could become a third-party identity tool for Reddit, allowing users to prove they're human โ without revealing their identity.
๐ง Why It Matters:
With AI flooding platforms with bots and deepfakes, and governments pushing for age-verification laws, platforms like Reddit are exploring new tech to fight fake accounts while protecting user privacy.
๐ About Worldcoin & Orb:
Worldcoin, co-founded by Sam Altman, offers free tokens in exchange for users scanning their eyeballs via a device called the Orb. The mission: create a universal basic income system backed by proof of personhood.
๐งฉ If finalized, the partnership could:
Add a new layer of anonymous but verified identity to Reddit
Be a major adoption win for Worldcoin and Tools for Humanity, the org behind World ID
๐ Bottom Line:
Reddit may soon use Orb to confirm users are real humans โ not bots โ without exposing who they are.
