- 03:54Analysis: World Iris Scan Count May Have an Error of Approximately 14 MillionPANews reported on May 5 that, according to Protos, Worldcoin seems to have exaggerated the number of its controversial iris scans, with a possible data discrepancy of 14 million. According to data disclosed by the official World X account, the current number of World IDs has exceeded 26.1 million. However, the World website indicates that the number of "unique humans" is 12.35 million, a difference of about 14 million between the two figures. Analysts believe that World has confused the number of World IDs issued through scans with the number of users who have merely registered for the World App. As of now, World’s parent company, Tools for Humanity, has not responded to the data discrepancy.
