- Worldcoin has been suspended in several countries over data protection concerns.
- Tools for Humanity, the company behind Worldcoin, lobbied Colombian authorities to ease their concerns about privacy.
- A day after Worldcoin orbs went live, Colombia’s personal data regulator launched an investigation to determine if the service complies with the law.
Worldcoin may not be legal in Colombia, but that’s not stopping it: scan eyeballs first, answer government inquiries later
