Indonesian government may ask Worldcoin to delete 500,000 retinal data

Planet Daily News: The Indonesian Communication and Digital Ministry (Komdigi) may delete 500,000 retinal data records collected by the Worldcoin platform, stemming from concerns about potential data leakage. Komdigi is investigating whether storing retinal data poses risks. If evidence of such risks is found, these data may be permanently deleted. Worldcoin is an identity verification platform that has been under scrutiny for offering 800,000 Indonesian rupiah ($48.34) to users who scan their retinas. After having its operating license revoked by Komdigi, the platform has halted all scanning activities in Indonesia. Worldcoin clarified that its cryptocurrency is not used for compensation and these tokens are optional incentives.
