According to Foresight News, TechCrunch reported that Worldcoin announced that it would stop providing its Orb verification service in India, Brazil and France. Orb is a biometric device designed by Worldcoin to distribute its cryptocurrency by scanning the eyeballs. Tools for Humanity, the foundation responsible for overseeing the development of Worldcoin, said that Orb expanded to many markets this year for "limited time access." Tools for Humanity promises to continue working with global partners to ensure that regulatory requirements are met and to provide safe, reliable and transparent services to verified people.
