😱 Worldcoin in Hot Water: Colombia Says "Not So Fast!"
Hey, crypto fans! 🌍 We've got some drama brewing in Colombia, and it’s all about Worldcoin, the crypto project from Sam Altman (yes, the OpenAI guy!). Here’s the scoop:
What's Happening?
Worldcoin’s been busy in Colombia, collecting people’s data with this sci-fi-looking device called the "Orb" in 25 locations, including big cities like Bogotá and Medellín. But Colombia's watchdogs, known as the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC), aren't too happy about it. 🚨
The Problem?
The SIC thinks Worldcoin might be breaking some serious data protection rules. They’re investigating if the company followed the law when collecting sensitive info. If Worldcoin's found guilty, they could face fines, get shut down temporarily, or even permanently! 😬
Why It Matters
This isn’t just a Colombia issue—other Latin American countries like Argentina are also giving World$coin the side-eye 👀. It’s a reminder that even the coolest crypto projects need to follow the rules.
So, will Worldcoin weather this storm, or will they have to pack up their Orbs? Stay tuned! ⏳
