The state already surveils, censors and totally excludes people via the government ID system. Twitter's verification is an extension of this as it requires a credit card, which requires government ID to get. In the EU, Worldcoin would likely require the eye scan plus government ID.

(The state doesn't want to give up its monopoly on identity or "whitelisted society". The state wants to track people from birth, not from the time of the eye scan, and allow only names and nationalities that were registered in their database (if you weren't entered in the state's database = you don't have a "real name" and the name that you use in daily life is considered as "fake" or "fraud").
The state is not meritocratic and doesn't care about effort or ethics, just damnation based on circumstances of birth, with no way to earn access or acceptance via your actions as an adult. An eye scan would circumvent this permissioned structure and allow "anyone with eyes" to participate, which is why the state will never let Worldcoin replace government ID.)

Only KYC-free services and agorist parallel economies can fix this. And it isn't about social media or UBI. It's about the basics of survival: Finding work, food and housing without government ID. Additionally sim cards, PO boxes, volunteer work, or even small things like going to the gym or library. Bitcoin and Monero solve the money aspect, as the war on cash threatens cash-in-hand economies and the state won't issue CBDC accounts or Digital IDs for people who weren't already registered at birth (same as the current banking and ID system).
