Worldcoin is opt-in, which is the opposite of authoritarian. Nobody who doesn’t like it is required to participate.

it is opt in until they manage to convince some government to allow them to be the contracted provider of "humanness verification" that is then made a prerequisite to access services.
Comcast is also opt-in. Except, in many areas there are no real alternatives.

I doubt Worldcoin will actually manage to corner the market. But the point is, if it did, bad things would happen. Though, that’s probably true of most products.

it's always opt-in until it isn't
