Thailand Bans World’s Biometric Project, Forces Company to Delete Data

In a significant regulatory move, Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) has ordered the shutdown of World, Sam Altman’s iris-scanning project. The company is required to delete over 1.2 million biometric records collected in the country and suspend all operations within the nation. This action highlights the growing global movement towards stricter data protection regulations for technologies like Worldcoin.
