Reddit is in discussions to adopt World ID, the biometric verification system that uses an iris-scanning “Orb” device, Semafor reported, citing people familiar with the talks.

World ID’s parent company was co-founded by OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman. The technology assigns users a cryptographic proof-of-personhood by scanning their irises, allowing online platforms to confirm that each account belongs to a unique individual while keeping personal identities private.

The talks are preliminary and no agreement has been reached, according to the report. If implemented, Reddit would be the first major U.S. social-media service to test World ID at scale, reflecting growing interest in biometric tools that curb duplicate or automated accounts without sacrificing user anonymity.
