Kenyan Court Orders Sam Altman’s Crypto Project to Delete Biometric User Data

Worldcoin—the controversial crypto project co-founded by OpenAI’s Sam Altman—just got a judicial smackdown in Kenya. The High Court ordered immediate deletion of all illegally collected biometric data, dealing a blow to its global ID ambitions.

Privacy advocates cheer as judges draw a red line: no more eyeball-scanning for crypto handouts. Meanwhile, Silicon Valley’s ’move fast and break things’ ethos hits another regulatory wall—this time in Nairobi.

Bonus jab: At least they didn’t launch a governance token to vote on the verdict. Progress?
