Worldcoin Suspended in Indonesia Over Data Privacy Concerns

Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Informatics suspended Worldcoin on May 4, citing public complaints and suspicious activity related to its biometric data collection. The project, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, faces mounting regulatory scrutiny globally as it attempts to expand its U.S. operations.
Authorities highlighted concerns over the platform’s eye-scanning verification process, which critics argue may compromise user privacy. Worldcoin’s suspension follows similar regulatory challenges in Europe and Asia, underscoring the tension between blockchain identity solutions and data protection frameworks.
