WorldCoin的Orb Mini點燃了全球加密社區的另一波懷疑和諷刺浪潮

WorldCoin的最新發明《 Orb Mini》激發了全球加密貨幣社區（尤其是在社交媒體上）的另一波懷疑和諷刺浪潮。

WorldCoin's latest gadget, the Orb Mini, has been met with another wave of skepticism and satire by the crypto community, especially on social media.

加密社區，尤其是在社交媒體上，WorldCoin的最新小工具The Orb Mini遇到了另一波懷疑和諷刺浪潮。

Designed as a more compact version of the original Orb, the Orb Mini is a small iris scanner used to verify users and issue them a unique World ID, which is recorded on the blockchain. It was unveiled at the "At Last" event in San Francisco on April 30.

Orb Mini設計為原始Orb的更緊湊的版本，是一種用於驗證用戶並發布獨特世界ID的小虹膜掃描儀，並在區塊鏈上記錄。它於4月30日在舊金山舉行的“最後”活動中揭幕。

Announced with the tagline "It goes where you go", the Orb Mini is a portable iris scanner designed to verify users and issue them a unique World ID, which is recorded on the blockchain.

Orb Mini宣布了標語“ It It Goes You Go，您可以走到哪裡”，是一種便攜式IRIS掃描儀，旨在驗證用戶並向他們發行獨特的世界ID，該ID記錄在區塊鏈上。

But while the crypto community might be used to new coins and tokens being launched, a small and portable iris scanner for scanning people on the go might be a technology too far, at least according to several crypto Twitter users.

但是，儘管加密貨幣社區可能會使用新的硬幣和代幣，但至少根據幾位加密推特用戶，掃描掃描人員的小型和便攜式虹膜掃描儀可能太過分了。

Those who had the chance to attend the event in San Francisco on April 30 were quick to share their thoughts on the Orb Mini, with some comparing it to dystopian tech and others poking fun at its unclear use case.

那些有機會參加4月30日在舊金山舉行的活動的人很快分享了他們對Orb Mini的想法，其中一些人將其與反烏托邦技術進行了比較，而其他人則在其不清楚的用例中嘲笑樂趣。

"The thing about humans is they can tell when a human is in a photo and they can experience the uncanny valley when something is slightly off – an uncomfortable feeling like when your date tries to scan your eyeball," wrote Alicia Katz, who works at Euler Finance.

在歐拉金融公司（Euler Finance）工作的艾麗西亞·卡茲（Alicia Katz）寫道：“關於人類的事情是，他們可以分辨出照片何時在照片中，並且在某些東西有些偏離時可以體驗到怪異的山谷 - 就像您約會試圖掃描眼球時的一種不舒服的感覺。”

Another user joked: "Is this so you can register your friends? I feel like this is an appareil from a 1940s sci-fi movie."

另一個用戶開玩笑說：“這是這樣您可以註冊您的朋友嗎？我覺得這是1940年代科幻電影中的Appareil。”

WorldCoin's Struggles Beyond the Hype

WorldCoin的鬥爭超出了炒作

The backlash isn't just limited to online humor. Several users and industry voices are raising valid concerns about the Orb Mini's security, privacy implications, and ethical use. Some are skeptical that the device could be easily spoofed by AI-generated imagery or deep fakes, rendering its authentication capabilities useless.

反彈不僅限於在線幽默。幾種用戶和行業的聲音正在引起對Orb Mini的安全性，隱私影響和道德使用的有效關注。有些人懷疑該設備很容易被AI生成的圖像或深層假貨欺騙，從而使其身份驗證功能毫無用處。

One sarcastic commenter even proposed "a rectal probe" as a more secure and foolproof alternative to the Orb Mini, highlighting how drastically different their perspectives are on what constitutes a reliable and trustworthy technology for a global identity system.

一位諷刺的評論者甚至提出了“直腸探測器”作為Orb Mini的更安全和萬無一失的替代方案，強調了他們的觀點在全球身份系統中構成可靠和可信賴的技術的構成構成的構成多麼巨大。

The CEO of Swan Bitcoin, Cory Klippsten, went as far as to label the Orb Mini a "creepy dystopia-shilling tool," suggesting that the entire Worldcoin project is more reflective of its creators’ insecurities and anxieties about the world.

天鵝比特幣的首席執行官Cory Klippsten甚至將Orb Mini標記為“令人毛骨悚然的反烏托邦閃爍工具”，這表明整個WorldCoin項目更反映了其創作者對世界的不安全感和焦慮。

In a broader commentary, Klippsten opines that the project speaks more to the inventors' personal anxieties and insecurities than any pressing need in society at large.

克利普斯滕（Klippsten）在更廣泛的評論中說，該項目比發明人的個人焦慮和不安全感要比整個社會上的任何緊迫需求。

"They're making an object smaller and lighter, but more importantly they're making an object more fabled and mythical in the minds of those who believe in it. It's an age-old story: take something small and light and make it large and heavy in the minds of men."

“他們正在使一個物體變得更小，更輕，但更重要的是，他們在相信它的人的心中使一個物體更具傳說和神話。這是一個古老的故事：拿起小而輕巧的東西，使它在男人的心中變得大而沉重。”

In Africa, where Worldcoin has previously run into trouble with regulators, the rollout of yet another biometric device is likely to raise even more serious questions.

在非洲，WorldCoin以前曾在監管機構遇到麻煩的地方，另一個生物識別設備的推出可能會引起更嚴重的問題。

Kenya, for example, had to temporarily suspend Worldcoin's operations in 2023 after raising concerns over the startup's ability to comply with local data protection laws. The Communications Authority of Kenya, along with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC), expressed worries about collecting such sensitive biometric data without sufficient legal frameworks in place to safeguard that data.

例如，肯尼亞在提出了遵守本地數據保護法的能力後，不得不在2023年暫時暫停WorldCoin的業務。肯尼亞的通信管理局以及數據保護專員辦公室（ODPC）表示擔心收集這種敏感的生物識別數據而沒有足夠的法律框架來保護該數據。

On May 5, 2025, the High Court of Kenya ruled that Worldcoin's activities in the country were illegal, noting that the startup's operations were in contravention of the Data Protection Act of 2019.

2025年5月5日，肯尼亞高等法院裁定，WorldCoin在該國的活動是非法的，並指出該初創公司的業務違反了2019年的《數據保護法》。

🇰🇪 REGULATION | Kenya High Court Declares @worldcoin Operations Ilegal, Orders Deletion of Biometric Data

🇰🇪法規|肯尼亞高等法院宣布@WorldCoin操作Ilegal，命令刪除生物識別數據

Justice Aburili has ruled that @worldcoin's activities in Kenya are iglegal and ordered that the startup's data be deleted from its servers within 60 days.

阿布里利大法官裁定， @WorldCoin在肯尼亞的活動是Iglegal，並下令在60天內從服務器中刪除初創公司的數據。

The judge said that Worldcoin’s operations infringe on Kenyans’ constitutional right to privacy.

法官說，世界幣的行動侵犯了肯尼亞人的憲法隱私權。

BitcoinKE.io reported that the case began in 2023 shortly after the crypto startup was forced to halt its operations in the East African nation.

Bitcoinke.io報導說，此案始於2023年，加密貨幣初創公司被迫停止其在東非國家的運營。

The crypto startup was ordered to cease its operations in April 2023 by the Communication Authority of Kenya (CA). At the time, the regulator said that Worldcoin did not have the necessary licenses to carry out its activities in the country.

加密初創公司被肯尼亞（CA）的傳播機構在2023年4月下令停止運營。當時，監管機構表示，世界幣沒有必要的許可證來在該國開展活動。

The crypto startup was also being investigated by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) over allegations that it was collecting personal data from Kenyans without their consent.

該加密初創公司還接受了數據保護專員辦公室（ODPC）的調查，指控它未經同意從肯尼亞人那裡收集個人數據。

The case was brought by two Kenyans, who argued that Worldcoin’s activities were a violation of their right to privacy. They also claimed that the startup had failed to obtain the necessary consent from Kenyans before collecting their biometric data.

此案是由兩個肯尼亞人提起的，他們認為世界幣的活動侵犯了他們的隱私權。他們還聲稱，在收集其生物識別數據之前，該初創公司未能從肯尼亞人獲得必要的同意。

In his ruling, Justice Aburili said that he was satisfied that Worldcoin’s operations were in contravention of the Data Protection Act. The judge also said that the startup had failed to take the necessary steps

阿布里利法官在裁決中說，他對世界幣的行動違反了《數據保護法》感到滿意。法官還說，該初創公司未能採取必要的步驟
