Worldcoin must delete all iris scan data, watchdog says
Worldcoin (WLD) has recently faced scrutiny over data confidentiality concerns, particularly regarding its collection of biometric data through iris scans.
Regulators in several countries, including Spain and Hong Kong, have raised privacy issues, leading to orders for the deletion of collected data and suspension of operations in certain regions.
In today's digital landscape, distinguishing between humans and AI-driven entities is increasingly challenging. Verified digital identities are becoming essential for secure interactions online.
Worldcoin offers a free digital ID designed to validate transactions across web3 platforms, aiming to provide proof of personhood without compromising personal information.
Despite the controversies, Worldcoin's approach to digital identity could play a significant role in the future of online security and interactions.
Its current market position may not fully reflect its potential impact in the realm of Real World Assets (RWAs).
For a comprehensive understanding of its technology and vision, reviewing the project's white paper is recommended.
