You’re misunderstanding how worldcoin works just like basically everyone who tries to criticize it. There’s no way to tie World IDs together between platforms. A unique ID is generated per platform from your wallet.

If they're all derived from a single source then isn't it possible it could be reversed? Or at least a relationship deduced? Given enough per-platform IDs

Couldn't they apply the same controls Safari uses to all WebViews embedded in other apps? Or at least make that an option?
