World ID mocks Spotify’s privacy practices with 'Unwrapped' meme

World ID mocks Spotify’s privacy practices with 'Unwrapped' meme

World, previously known as Worldcoin (CRYPTO:WLD), recently made a humorous jab at Spotify’s data privacy practices by posting a spoof of the streaming service's popular “Wrapped” year-end reports.

The meme, shared via World’s verified account on X, was accompanied by the message, “World ID lets you & your actions stay anonymous online,” poking fun at Spotify’s use of customer data.

The graphic mimicked the style of Spotify’s “Wrapped” reports, which are known for summarising individual user data.

“To the human who played the Heavy Metal Sleep playlist every night for months,” one of the comedic quotes featured in the meme was, with the addition of, “We don’t know anything about you (but we are intrigued).”

While the meme was lighthearted, it reflects a growing concern over data privacy.

Spotify’s Wrapped reports have been widely criticised for exploiting users’ data.

The 2024 reports, which included a partnership with Google’s generative AI services, have also caused significant customer disappointment.

World, which provides the World ID anonymous verification service, has faced its own share of scrutiny.

The service uses eye-scanning technology known as “Orbs” to confirm identities, storing that data on a blockchain ledger.

World aims to provide an anonymous identity verification system that enables users to engage in transactions and travel without revealing personal information.

However, World has encountered challenges, especially in Europe.

It has faced regulatory hurdles under the General Data Protection Regulation, with services being suspended in Spain, Portugal, and the Dominican Republic.

Despite this, World continues to push for its goal of providing a globally recognised, anonymous verification system.

In the U.S., World’s services are available, but Worldcoin, the company’s cryptocurrency, is still not accessible due to regulatory uncertainty.

The results of the 2024 U.S. presidential election could potentially change this, as President-elect Donald Trump has promised to improve the regulatory landscape for blockchain and cryptocurrency.
