 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Worldcoin has an ambitious vision to create a digital identity platform that utilizes biometric data, particularly iris scans, to authenticate and empower individuals. Worldcoin has set up sign-up sites across the globe where people can have their faces scanned by a shining spherical “orb.”</span></p>

   </div> 
  </div>  
 </div> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Upon approaching the orb, individuals can have their faces scanned to capture biometric data, specifically for iris recognition. This biometric information is used to generate digital IDs, granting users access to free cryptocurrency and services.</span></p> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">While <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Worldcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/worldcoin.html">Worldcoin</a>’s approach may appear promising to some, it raises significant privacy and ethical concerns. France’s privacy watchdog, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="CNIL" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/cnil.html">CNIL</a> noted in a Reuters report that the approach “appears questionable, as do the conditions for storing biometric data.”&nbsp;</span></p> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">CNIL indicated that it launched inquiries and later discovered that the jurisdiction for examining the case comes under that of the Bavarian state authority in Germany. Since then, the Bavarian authorities have taken the lead in the probe, with CNIL assisting. Worldcoin has yet to reply to media requests for comment while the investigations are ongoing.</span></p>
