Worldcoin ordered to halt biometric data collection in Portugal: report

Worldcoin has encountered another setback in Europe as the "proof of personhood" project tries to grow the number of people who sign up by having their eyeballs scanned to prove they are human.

"Portugal's data regulator, the CNPD, said there was a high risk to citizens' data protection rights, which justified urgent intervention to prevent serious harm," according to the report. "More than 300,000 people in Portugal have provided Worldcoin with their biometric data," the CNPD said. "The Worldcoin Foundation has the utmost respect for the role and responsibilities of data protection authorities, in the CNPD in Portugal," said Jannick Preiwisch, data protection officer at Worldcoin Foundation. "The report from CNPD is the first time we are hearing from them regarding many of these matters, including reports of underage sign-ups in Portugal, for which we have zero tolerance for and are working to address in all instances.
