The Hong Kong Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data has completed an investigation into the Worldcoin project and emphasized on Thursday that a compulsory enforcement notice has been issued to Worldcoin. However, Worldcoin has not disclosed whether it will comply with the regulatory decision, suspend its biometric data collection activities in Hong Kong, or address the concerns of participants. The Worldcoin Foundation, the supporting organization behind Worldcoin based in the Cayman Islands, expressed disappointment with the views of Hong Kong regulators, stating that its operations are legal and aimed at complying with laws and regulations related to data collection and use in Hong Kong and many other markets. The foundation stated that "unfortunately, Hong Kong overlooked these aspects when evaluating the human verification process."
