Worldcoin’s comment comes amid the Spanish regulator’s decision to <a href="https://crypto.news/spain-sam-altman-worldcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ban</a> the company’s activities in the country, which Worldcoin tried to appeal but <a href="https://crypto.news/worldcoin-aepd-spain-ban/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">was denied</a>. The judge found the order to suspend Worldcoin justified, given the risks associated with biometric data, but expressed concern about iris scanners’ impact on data subjects’ rights. 
The firm also faced regulatory pressure in other countries, particularly Germany, <a href="https://crypto.news/french-authorities-investigate-worldcoins-paris-hq/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">France</a>, <a href="https://crypto.news/worldcoin-faces-probe-in-south-korea-over-privacy-concerns/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">South Korea</a>, and <a href="https://crypto.news/kenya-suspends-worldcoin-operations-over-security-and-data-concerns/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kenya</a>.
