According to Techub News, Semafor reports that Reddit is in talks with Worldcoin's parent company Tools for Humanity to consider using the iris-scanning-based identification system World ID as one of the methods for human identification on the platform. This move aims to verify users' uniqueness and age without collecting their identification information, in response to the proliferation of AI-generated content and increasingly strict age verification regulations. Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman has stated that the platform must verify whether users are real people and their ages in the future, while hoping to accomplish this with the help of third parties to maintain Reddit's anonymity and decentralization culture.
