Tools for Humanity, the organization that controls Worldcoin, is also the parent company of OpenAI. Previously, the community has repeatedly expressed its concerns about conflicts of interest due to dual leadership.
Worldcoin has also faced regulatory pressure in several countries over the issue of user privacy. At the moment, Germany remains the only legal market for collecting biometric information. And recently, the project's token has continued to fall. WLD has fallen in value by 50% over the past month.
