A Kenyan court has ordered Sam Altman’s crypto project, World (formerly Worldcoin), to erase all biometric data collected within the country. The High Court in Nairobi found the data was gathered without proper consent from the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) and through cryptocurrency incentives, breaching informed consent principles.
The ruling amplifies global scrutiny over Worldcoin’s data practices, raising questions about regulatory compliance and user privacy in decentralized identity initiatives. The decision could set a precedent for other jurisdictions examining similar biometric collection methods.
