Worldcoin Ordered to Delete All Iris Scanning Data from Users in Spain, Germany

Turns out, scanning your iris to create a “privacy-enhanced Internet experience” might just be the opposite… At least the governments in Germany, Spain, Colombia, and Hong Kong think so.

“With today's decision, we are enforcing European fundamental rights standards in favour of the data subjects in a technologically demanding and legally highly complex case. All users who have provided Worldcoin with their iris data will in future have the unrestricted opportunity to enforce their right to erasure,” said BayLDA President Michael Will.

Just another hair-bending “use case” for the be-all and end-all 2019 hype technology, blockchain.
