Worldcoin Expands World ID Business in Mexico, Becoming Its Third Largest Market in Latin America

Worldcoin recently posted on the X platform that the World ID human identity verification service will be launched to more people in Mexico. According to local media Criptonoticias, Worldcoin operates in at least nine locations in Mexico. This expansion makes Mexico the third largest market for Worldcoin in Latin America, second only to Argentina (59) and Chile (21). (Beincrypto) Previously, Worldcoin faced a fine of more than $1 million in Buenos Aires, Argentina for suspected illegal operations. The company was accused of including unfair terms in its binding contracts, violating the rights guaranteed by Argentina's National Consumer Protection Law. Consumer protection organizations in Buenos Aires also found that the company had contradictions in handling biometric data collected from local citizens. The local government found that several contracts accepted by users when using Worldcoin services, including "Terms and Conditions of Use", "Privacy Statement" and "Data Consent", undermined the rights of Argentine consumers. Among these terms that were considered unfair, one gave the company the ability to suspend services without refunding users. The contracts oblige users to waive class action claims and establish Cayman Islands regulations applicable to Argentines.
