That last line kinda creeps me out.
The whole thing is creepy. The name, the orb, scanning people’s eyes with it, specifically targeting poor Kenyan people (the “unbanked”) like a literal sci-fi villain.
Yeah that’s most most sci-fi dystopian article I’ve read in a while.
The line where one of the people waiting to get their eyes scanned is well eye opening " I don’t care what they do with the data, I just want the money", this is why they want us poor, so we need money so badly that we will impatiently hand over everything that makes us.
But we already happily hand over our DNA genome to private corporations, so what’s an eye scan gonna do…
We hand over our DNA to ancestry companies for some obscene vanity reason and then pay them for the privilege of keeping it
