The Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision, or BayLDA, reportedly began an investigation into human identity verification project Worldcoin based on concerns over biometric data.

According to a July 31 Reuters report, the German data watchdog launched a probe into Worldcoin’s activities starting in November 2022. Worldcoin, a project started with the intention of distinguishing real people from bots by providing retinal scans for identity verification, had more than 2 million sign-ups prior to the launch of its token in July.
