Worldcoin Confirms Kenya ID Verification Pause

The CEO of Worldcoin’s founding entity confirmed on Aug. 2 that his organization has paused “World ID verifications in Kenya” and will attempt to address concerns raised by authorities. Kenya’s ICT Minister Eliud Owalo has said Worldcoin’s verification services were being carried out within the confines of the law.
Worldcoin Activities Not in Breach of Kenyan Laws
Alex Blania, the co-founder and CEO of Worldcoin’s founding entity Tools for Humanity (TFH), announced on Aug. 2 that his organization had “paused World ID verifications in Kenya.” According to Blania, this move gives his organization time to address some of the concerns raised by Kenyan regulators.
The remarks by Blania follow reports that the Kenyan government has suspended Worldcoin activities over public safety concerns. Before the government decided to suspend Worldcoin’s activities, the Kenyan data regulator warned residents against giving away their details via TFH’s eye scanners which are also known as “Orbs.”
Despite facing heat from regulators and government officials, TFH’s crypto project appears to have won the backing of the country’s ICT minister, Eliud Owalo. In remarks made on the day Worldcoin’s activities were suspended, Owalo insisted that Blania’s organization was “acting within the law.” The ICT minister also pointed to the fact that most Kenyan participants were not being forced to share their details.MJ22-worldcoin-orb3.jpg
