Spain has taken a significant step against Sam Altman's Worldcoin by banning its eye-scanning technology, as reported by the Financial Times (FT). The country's data protection regulator, AEPD, has ordered Worldcoin to immediately cease collecting personal information within Spain and to stop using the data it has already gathered. The regulator has given Worldcoin a 72-hour deadline to demonstrate compliance with this order. This action represents a major setback for Worldcoin, which has faced controversy in multiple countries over its plans to collect customers' personal data through an eyeball-scanning device known as the 'orb'.
