Worldcoin Halts Biometric Data Collection in Portugal

Portugal's data regulator orders a 90-day suspension amid privacy concerns and complaints.

Portugal's data regulator, the CNPD, has ordered Worldcoin to stop collecting biometric data for 90 days.
The decision comes after dozens of complaints about unauthorized data collection from minors and issues with data erasure.
More than 300,000 people in Portugal have already provided their biometric data to Worldcoin.
Worldcoin, a project by Sam Altman, aims to confirm personhood with iris scans in exchange for cryptocurrency.
Worldcoin is addressing privacy concerns by introducing 'Personal Custody,' allowing users more control over their data.
