Kenyan Court Orders World to Delete Biometric Data

According to BlockBeats, the Kenyan High Court has ruled that World, formerly known as Worldcoin, violated privacy laws by collecting biometric data without proper consent. The company incentivized users with cryptocurrency in exchange for their iris information. The court has mandated that World and its agents delete all data collected in Kenya within seven days and refrain from further data collection without evaluation and incentives. Recently, the project was also suspended in Indonesia.
