Worldcoin iris-scanning breaches rules says privacy watchdog. Worldcoin project, in which people agree for their irises to be scanned in exchange for free cryptocurrency and a digital ID, would violate EU regulations if it came to Italy.
Italian citizens can download the World App via the app store, hand over their personal data and book free Wld tokens. Worldcoin, which was co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, says that the biometric data it collects is either deleted or stored in encrypted form.
