Portuguese data regulatory authority CNPD has ordered Sam Altman's iris scanning project Worldcoin to stop collecting biometric data for 90 days. CNPD stated that citizens' data protection rights face high risks, so there is reason to take emergency intervention measures to prevent serious harm. CNPD stated that more than 300,000 people in Portugal have provided biometric data to Worldcoin. Worldcoin stated that the company began transitioning to individual custody in March, allowing users to control their own data, including deletion and any future use.
