Odaily Planet Daily News Indonesia's Ministry of Communications and Digital (Komdigi) may delete 500,000 retinal data records collected by the Worldcoin platform, a move stemming from concerns about potential data leaks. Komdigi is investigating whether there are risks in storing retinal data. If evidence of such risks is found, the data may be permanently deleted.
Worldcoin, a platform that provides identity verification, has come under scrutiny for offering 800,000 rupiah ($48.34) to users who scan their retinas. After Komdigi revoked its operating license, the platform stopped all scanning activities in Indonesia. Worldcoin clarified that its cryptocurrency Worldcoin is not used for compensation and that these tokens are optional incentives.
