<h4><strong>This action highlights increasing global concern over the project’s use of an “orb” for personal data collection.</strong></h4> 
<p>Worldcoin’s plan, controversial for its privacy and biometric data ethics, has alarmed multiple countries.</p> 
<h5><strong>Worldcoin’s Controversial Biometric Data Collection</strong></h5> 
<p>The Spanish data protection authority, <a href="https://twitter.com/AEPD_es/status/1765357969749799160" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AEPD</a>, has explicitly demanded that Worldcoin immediately stop collecting personal data from individuals in Spain. Additionally, the regulator has instructed the cessation of any further use of data that has already been collected. The AEPD’s directive underscores growing digital privacy concerns amid new technologies.</p>

<p>One of the AEPD’s critical apprehensions involves the potential for minors to interact with Worldcoin’s technology. Last year’s concern led to new age verification tests in the project to prevent underage users’ exposure. Despite efforts, Spain’s actions show wider reluctance toward fast, invasive data collection, particularly with biometric info.</p> 
<h5><strong>More About Worldcoin</strong></h5> 
<p><a href="https://worldcoin.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Worldcoin’s proposition</a>, spearheaded by Sam Altman, aims to revolutionize the way personal identification and financial transactions are conducted in the digital era. Worldcoin aimed to securely verify identities through “orb” eyeball scans for safer, efficient crypto transactions. The project’s data handling has sparked debate on privacy, consent, and ethics in biometric data use.</p>

<p>Spain’s AEPD action reflects a trend of regulators scrutinizing tech firms handling sensitive data. It highlights the need to balance innovation with <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=privacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">privacy protection</a> and fundamental rights</p> 
<p>Worldcoin must navigate data protection laws carefully to not compromise user privacy and trust.</p>
