Worldcoin is making privacy changes! Users can now unverify their World ID, a digital ID verified with iris scans, by permanently deleting their iris code. This comes with a 6-month waiting period to prevent fraud.
Worldcoin also faces challenges. Offline verification was paused in India and the platform was banned in Kenya in 2023. However, Worldcoin claims legal operation in all current locations.

Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency company, has been accused of violating consumer protection laws in Argentina. The allegations stem from a review of consumer protection clauses in Worldcoin's contract, which allegedly force users to accept conditions that may violate national consumer protection laws.
In addition, there are inconsistencies in the information provided by Worldcoin about its biometric data scanning operations, particularly concerning the processing of minors' data. These activities involve the use of Orb devices to scan users' iris and facial data at various locations in Argentina.
Worldcoin is now required to respond to these allegations and may need to modify or remove the contract terms considered abusive. The announcement was made by the Production, Science, and Technological Innovation Department of Buenos Aires Province in Argentina. The company could face a fine of up to 1 billion Argentine pesos, approximately 1.075 million USD.

Worldcoin Fined 1.1 Billion Korean Won
The Worldcoin Foundation and Tools for Humanity have been penalized by South Korean authorities for unlawfully collecting and transferring biometric data.
On September 26, the Personal Information Protection Commission announced a fine of 1.1 billion Korean won (approximately $850,000) against Worldcoin and its partner, Tools for Humanity.
The privacy watchdog initiated an investigation into Worldcoin following complaints and media reports suggesting that the project was gathering biometric data in exchange for cryptocurrency without obtaining proper consent or a legal basis.
Worldcoin has conducted iris scans on around 30,000 individuals in South Korea. The investigation revealed that both the Worldcoin Foundation and Tools for Humanity, which oversees the World App cryptocurrency wallet, breached South Korean laws by collecting iris data from nearly 30,000 users without appropriate consent.
Moreover, Worldcoin transferred this biometric information overseas without notifying users about the recipient countries or providing necessary contact details, as mandated by local laws. The commission also pointed out that the Worldcoin Foundation did not adequately inform users about the data's purpose, retention period, and other essential information. Initially, the consent form was only available in English, which hindered local users' understanding until a Korean version was made available in March.
In its defense, Worldcoin claimed that the iris code data was used solely to prevent duplicate registrations and was anonymous, thus not identifying individuals. However, the commission dismissed this argument, stating that iris code data is unique, unchangeable, and directly associated with individuals.
Worldcoin's contentious iris scanning practices have attracted scrutiny from regulatory bodies in countries such as India, Hong Kong, and Germany.
