The Indonesian government may request Worldcoin to delete 500,000 pieces of citizens' retinal data

ChainCatcher news, according to CNN Indonesia, the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Komdigi) may request the World platform to delete 500,000 records of Indonesian citizens' retinal data. Previously, due to concerns about potential data leakage risks, Komdigi was investigating whether there were security vulnerabilities in the storage of retinal data. Once relevant risks are identified, this data will be permanently deleted.

The World platform was previously scrutinized for offering users a reward of 800,000 Indonesian rupiah (approximately 48.34 USD) for scanning their retinas. After Komdigi suspended its operating license, the platform has halted all scanning activities in Indonesia. The World platform clarified that its cryptocurrency Worldcoin is not used as compensation, and the tokens are only offered as optional incentives.
