WorldWide is a search engine with AI capabilities. The company is headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, and has customers throughout the United States. WorldWide was created using privacy by design principles, including federated learning, to protect user privacy. The company was founded in 2020 and has had phenomenal success since that time. Lucy Lucille, the CEO, is proud that WorldWide derives none of its revenue from selling or sharing personal data.

During this meeting, Bob reports that WorldWide has 1.5 million users in California; 250,000 users in Colorado; 150,000 users in Connecticut; 200,000 users in Utah; and 1 million users in Virginia.
