Colombia's Supervisory Authority for Industry and Commerce (SIC) has charged Worldcoin, a decentralized identity project founded by Sam Altman, and the company behind it, Tools for Humanity, for allegedly violating the country's personal data protection regulations. SIC has issued a notice of preliminary prosecution alleging that the companies failed to comply with relevant policies when collecting sensitive personal data. Worldcoin currently uses its Orb devices to collect data at 25 locations in Colombia, including the capital, Bogotá. If found guilty, SIC could impose economic sanctions on Worldcoin, temporarily suspending or permanently shutting down its operations in Colombia. Worldcoin has yet to respond to the allegations.
