According to DLNews, Thailand's data regulator has ordered World, an iris scanning project promoted by Sam Altman, to delete more than 1.20 million records it had collected in Thailand.
Thai Minister of Digital Economy and Society Chaichanok Chidchob said the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) also ordered the company on Monday to suspend all its operations in Thailand.
In Thailand, where World has halted its iris scanning operations, a panel of experts commissioned to investigate whether World broke the country's data protection laws concluded that collecting biometric data in exchange for cryptocurrency was illegal.
