France's data protection authority, CNIL, is reportedly investigating the legality of Worldcoin's biometric data collection, which requires users to scan their irises using an orb to obtain a World ID and cryptocurrency token. The investigation was launched after Worldcoin collected data from users in France. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's project has seen increased sign-ups since its launch on Monday, with one unique person scanning their eyeballs for the World ID every 7.6 seconds. The UK's Information Commissioner's Office is also looking into Worldcoin.
