世界幣的生物辨識資料抓取在拉丁美洲引發警報

世界幣的虹膜掃描和數位身分方案繼續在全球蔓延，引發了各國政府對生物辨識資料收集和隱私保護的擔憂。阿根廷提出了一項監管世界幣活動的提案，而墨西哥政界人士則尋求對數據實踐的澄清。批評者對提供用於虹膜掃描的加密貨幣和世界幣的離岸地位的同意清晰度表示擔憂。儘管存在質疑，該公司仍計劃擴大在墨西哥的業務，同時採取措施解決隱私問題並與 PayPal 等公司合作。

Worldcoin's Biometric Data Collection Sparks Alarm in Latin America

世界幣的生物辨識資料收集在拉丁美洲引發警報

As Worldcoin expands its global reach, the company's iris biometrics and digital identity scheme are raising concerns among Latin American governments, who are demanding greater clarity and regulatory oversight over the handling of sensitive biometric data.

隨著世界幣擴大其全球影響力，該公司的虹膜生物辨識和數位身分方案引起了拉丁美洲各國政府的擔憂，他們要求對敏感生物辨識數據的處理進行更明確的監管和監管。

In Argentina, the provincial legislature of Buenos Aires is considering a proposal to establish a clear regulatory framework for iris scanning initiatives, including Worldcoin's operations. The proposal, introduced by MP Carlos Puglelli, seeks to protect user data and impose strict penalties for non-compliance, including fines and withdrawal of permits.

在阿根廷，布宜諾斯艾利斯省立法機關正在考慮一項提議，為虹膜掃描計畫（包括世界幣的運作）建立明確的監管框架。該提案由議員卡洛斯·普格萊利 (Carlos Puglelli) 提出，旨在保護用戶數據，並對違規行為實施嚴厲處罰，包括罰款和吊銷許可證。

"It is essential that our legislation adapt to the challenges posed by the digital age," Puglelli said. "This law aims to safeguard the privacy and security of consumers' data in an increasingly digital environment."

「我們的立法必須適應數位時代帶來的挑戰，」普格萊利說。 “這項法律旨在在日益數位化的環境中保護消費者資料的隱私和安全。”

One major concern raised by critics is the issue of informed consent. Worldcoin's agreement with users has been criticized for not adequately explaining the implications of providing an iris scan and creating a "World ID" digital identity. The addition of a cryptocurrency payment for participating in the program further complicates the issue, as some argue it may coerce individuals into surrendering their biometric data for financial gain.

批評者提出的一大擔憂是知情同意問題。世界幣與用戶的協議因沒有充分解釋提供虹膜掃描和創建「世界 ID」數位身分的影響而受到批評。參與該計劃的加密貨幣支付使問題更加複雜化，因為有些人認為這可能會迫使個人交出他們的生物識別數據以獲取經濟利益。

In Mexico, legislators are also seeking clarification on Worldcoin's data protection practices. After the company announced plans to expand its operations in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara, Congressional representative María Eugenia Hernández requested a formal evaluation of the potential impacts of Worldcoin's iris biometrics project.

在墨西哥，立法者也在尋求澄清世界幣的資料保護做法。在該公司宣布計劃擴大在墨西哥城、蒙特雷和瓜達拉哈拉的業務後，國會代表 María Eugenia Hernández 要求對 Worldcoin 虹膜生物識別項目的潛在影響進行正式評估。

"Today, it is unclear what the company does with iris scans," said provincial deputy Romina Braga. "WorldCoin does not have legal status in Argentina and yet is acquiring biometric data where privacy is at stake."

「目前還不清楚該公司如何處理虹膜掃描，」省副議員羅米娜·布拉加 (Romina Braga) 說。 “世界幣在阿根廷不具有合法地位，但正在獲取隱私受到威脅的生物識別數據。”

Despite these concerns, Worldcoin has continued its global expansion, with plans to establish over 50 iris-scanning outlets in Argentina and nine additional locations in Mexico. The company claims to have over 10 million users worldwide, including half a million in Argentina, and is exploring partnerships with major tech players like OpenAI and PayPal.

儘管有這些擔憂，Worldcoin 仍繼續其全球擴張，計劃在阿根廷設立 50 多個虹膜掃描網點，並在墨西哥另外設立 9 個網點。該公司聲稱在全球擁有超過 1,000 萬用戶，其中阿根廷有 50 萬用戶，並且正在探索與 OpenAI 和 PayPal 等主要科技公司建立合作夥伴關係。

In an effort to address the privacy concerns raised by governments and users, Worldcoin has recently held meetings with government officials in Malaysia and Portugal. In addition, the company has conducted a security audit that reportedly shows safe handling of biometric data and limited data collection.

為了解決政府和用戶提出的隱私問題，世界幣最近與馬來西亞和葡萄牙的政府官員舉行了會議。此外，該公司還進行了安全審計，據報導顯示生物識別數據的安全處理和有限的數據收集。

As Worldcoin expands its reach, it remains to be seen whether it can allay the concerns of Latin American governments and regulators. The company faces the challenge of balancing its mission to provide a global digital identity with the need to protect the privacy and security of its users' biometric data.

隨著世界幣的影響力不斷擴大，它是否能減輕拉丁美洲政府和監管機構的擔憂還有待觀察。該公司面臨著平衡其提供全球數位身分的使命與保護用戶生物識別資料的隱私和安全的需求的挑戰。
