What the hell is this? How can they even do this without getting deleted.

I'm not sure I understood it correctly. Do people just need to just look at the mirrored surface to get scanned, and they get a coin?

You don't know and don't have an account your bad! We have your eyes now!

Or do people need to read a privacy policy and accept everything before they get scanned?

Well it's not magic at least https://worldcoin.org/blog/engineering/opening-orb-look-inside-worldcoin-biometric-imaging-device

It's not a 360 camera. People have to be able to look at the dark spot where the glass for the cameras are.

Cool now we know how to approach and destroy these abominations.

Don't destroy them. Ship them to me so I can convert them into stationary cameras for my front door and yard with my self hosted security system.
