Last week, the Ministry of the Interior suspended the project’s operations in the country, even as Kenya’s minister for the digital economy, Eliud Owalo, said the ODPC had been in contact with Worldcoin as far back as April and had concluded that its activities comply with Kenya’s data-protection laws. Later in the week, however, the ODPC issued a statement saying that after a preliminary review, it found “a number of legitimate regulatory concerns” around the project. Authorities in the U.K., France and Germany are also looking into the project.
