Yes, if every government was reliably incorruptible, they could also work together to build a global human verification network.

I predict that Worldcoin will get it done first, and will be more dependable than most countries. But it could turn out otherwise. In the end, services that need humanity verification will have multiple provider options and the market will decide.

Worldcoin is and always will be opt-in.

Government solutions will be opt-out, and only in the most tedious way: Leaving the country, burning your passport and becoming a stateless person. Not recommended.

If there ever was a moat, government has it.
