Worldcoin is facing regulatory scrutiny over concerns about its personal information and biometric data practices. Citizens and residents in the US are not allowed to purchase or trade Worldcoin tokens, and German data regulators have been monitoring the project since November 2022. In addition, French officials have questioned the legality of collecting biometric data, and police reportedly raided Worldcoin's warehouse in Nairobi, Kenya. Worldcoin has clarified that it will not sell users' personal or biometric data and is committed to meeting regulatory requirements.
