Colombia orders Worldcoin shutdown over biometric data violations - CADE – Civil Society Alliances for Digital Empowerm

2025-10-22  Per Henrikson

The regulator determined that users’ consent was not fully informed, that data was subjected to processing beyond what was disclosed, and that individuals were effectively pressured into participation through economic inducements.
