Talk:Worldcoin

Launch in Africa
Where would it be appropriate to talk about the launch of Worldcoin in Africa? Kenya was the first African country chosen for the launch but it has now been suspended over safety concerns. SpicyTofuNoodles (talk) 08:45, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Add information to the topic "Controversies"
The Portuguese newspaper Expresso reports that in Portugal, Worldcoin has already collected the biometric data of 300,000 people, attracting mainly young people and people in need. The Portuguese Data Protection Authority (Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados, CNPD) has already carried out an inspection and is analyzing the legality of the project in collaboration with European authorities. The CNPD has expressed concern about the use of the service by minors, despite the company officially limiting membership to those over 18. Many young people have downloaded the app and provided their biometric data in exchange for money. Collecting personal data from children requires parental consent, and the CNPD has reservations about whether the interests of minors are being ensured. The newspaper also reports that the collection of biometric data has been suspended in France, India and Brazil and in Spain, where more than 360,000 users have registered on the platform, the Spanish Data Protection Agency has received four complaints which are still being assessed. 2001:8A0:F954:FD00:6840:8C6C:183A:2652 (talk) 00:04, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
