Odaily Planet Daily News According to the German business daily Handelsblatt reported on Tuesday, the country's financial regulator Bafin is investigating Worldcoin.

Earlier news on July 31, Michael Will, chairman of the German data regulator, said that the German data regulator has been investigating the Worldcoin project since the end of last year due to the large-scale sensitive biometric data involved. Will said this would pose a number of risks, including whether users expressly consented to the processing of their highly sensitive biometric data on the basis of "sufficient and unambiguous" information.
In addition, the French privacy regulator CNIL and the British data regulator Information Commissioner's Office are investigating Worldcoin.
