Big Tech's Push for Token Economies Raises Privacy and Freedom Concerns

Worldcoin is collecting biometric data from people in developing countries in exchange for crypto tokens, raising privacy concerns.

Digital platforms like Amazon and Facebook are pushing token-based economies that restrict user choice and freedom.

Unlike cash, digital tokens encode terms, conditions, and other data into transactions.

China's super-apps like WeChat Pay already link digital payments to social credit scoring.

Governments worry about Big Tech dominating token economies, so are pushing state-controlled digital currencies.
