Kenyan Court Halts Worldcoin Operations Amid Regulatory Firestorm
Kenyan Court Halts Worldcoin Operations Amid Regulatory Firestorm

1
Nairobi cracks down on crypto’s latest eyeball-scanning gambit—because nothing says ’financial revolution’ like biometric data harvesting.
High Court freezes operations: No more iris scans for WLD tokens as Kenya demands accountability. Yet another ’disruptive’ crypto project learns the hard way that regulators exist.
Behind the pause: Authorities cite concerns over data privacy and lack of proper licensing. Meanwhile, Worldcoin’s parent Tools for Humanity insists they’ll ’work with local stakeholders’—standard PR speak for damage control.
The irony? A project claiming to democratize finance gets kneecapped by the very system it sought to bypass. Maybe next time try filing paperwork before collecting citizens’ biometrics?
