According to BlockBeats, Thailand's data regulatory authority has mandated the iris-scanning project World, led by Sam Altman, to erase over 1.2 million records collected in the country. Chaichanok Chidchob, Thailand's Minister of Digital Economy and Society, stated that the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) also instructed the company to halt all operations in Thailand. An expert panel, tasked with investigating whether World violated Thailand's data protection laws, concluded that collecting biometric data in exchange for cryptocurrency is illegal. Consequently, World has ceased its iris-scanning activities in Thailand.#Thailand #dataregulation #privacyconcerns #biometricdata #cryptocurrency #SamAltman #irisScanning #PersonalDataProtection #ThailandLaws #dataerasure
