Parliament orders halt on Worldcoin's Kenya services

A parliamentary panel called on the Communications Authority of Kenya to ban cryptocurrency Worldcoin's operations in the country until appropriate regulations are in place, Reuters reports. Despite a court-ordered suspension issued in August over its biometric data collection, Worldcoin's virtual offerings are still available to Kenyans. The report from the 18-member panel will soon be considered and acted upon by Kenya's National Assembly. Editor's note: Amit Gadhia, CIPP/E, wrote on the privacy implications of the Worldcoin case.
