世界幣因生物辨識數據問題在阿根廷面臨法律調查

世界幣是一種收集用戶生物辨識數據的開源協議，在阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯面臨法律挑戰。省消費者權益保護局發現了 Worldcoin 用戶合約中的濫用條款，引發了對資料處理和潛在侵犯用戶權利的擔憂。檢查發現，世界幣報告的數據實踐與調查結果之間存在差異，包括生物識別數據在巴西的儲存以及可能違反阿根廷的《民商法》。

Worldcoin Faces Legal Scrutiny in Buenos Aires Amidst Concerns over Biometric Data Handling

由於對生物識別數據處理的擔憂，世界幣在布宜諾斯艾利斯面臨法律審查

The rapidly expanding open-source protocol Worldcoin, founded by renowned entrepreneur Sam Altman, has encountered a series of legal challenges in recent months, including a recent indictment issued by authorities in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This indictment stems from an investigation by the Provincial Directorate for the Defense of Consumer Rights, which uncovered several alleged violations in Worldcoin's user contracts, prompting concerns over the handling of sensitive biometric data.

由著名企業家 Sam Altman 創建的快速擴張的開源協議 Worldcoin 在近幾個月遇到了一系列法律挑戰，包括阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯省當局最近發布的起訴書。該起訴書源於省級消費者權益保護局的一項調查，該調查發現了世界幣用戶合約中的幾起涉嫌違規行為，引發了人們對敏感生物識別數據處理的擔憂。

Discrepancies in Worldcoin's Data Practices

Worldcoin 資料實踐中的差異

The authorities in Buenos Aires have raised concerns that the practices reported by Worldcoin regarding its handling of biometric data contradict the findings of provincial inspections. The investigation revealed "abusive clauses" in the company's accession contracts, which are said to violate Argentina's National Consumer Protection Law.

布宜諾斯艾利斯當局擔心，世界幣報告的生物辨識數據處理做法與省級檢查結果相矛盾。調查發現該公司的入盟合約中存在“濫用條款”，據稱這些條款違反了阿根廷國家消費者保護法。

The Undersecretary for Commercial Development and Promotion of Investments in the province, Ariel Aguilar, expressed concerns about the lack of transparency surrounding Worldcoin's data processing procedures. He questioned whether biometric data was being stored or promptly deleted, the existence of databases containing personal data of Argentine users in Brazil, and the complexity of the system's contracts and operations.

該省負責商業發展和投資促進的副部長 Ariel Aguilar 對 Worldcoin 數據處理程序缺乏透明度表示擔憂。他質疑生物辨識資料是否已儲存或立即刪除、包含阿根廷用戶在巴西的個人資料的資料庫是否存在，以及系統合約和營運的複雜性。

Abusive Clauses and Violations in User Contracts

用戶合約中的濫用條款和違規行為

The provincial inspections identified multiple violations in Worldcoin's adhesion contracts, including the "Terms and Conditions of Use," "Privacy Notice," and "Data Consent Form." One notable violation was the company's failure to clearly display signs indicating the minimum age requirement of 18 for accessing the service, potentially leading to the collection of personal data from minors.

省級檢查發現，世界幣的附著合約存在多項違規行為，包括《使用條款和條件》、《隱私權聲明》和《資料同意書》。一項值得注意的違規行為是該公司未能清楚地顯示標誌，表明訪問該服務的最低年齡要求為 18 歲，這可能導致收集未成年人的個人資料。

In addition to the lack of transparency, the contracts were found to contain abusive clauses. These clauses included provisions that allowed the company to suspend the service without offering repairs or refunds, forced users to waive collective redress claims, and subjected them to foreign laws, specifically those of the Cayman Islands, with disputes to be resolved through arbitration in California, United States. These provisions violate Argentina's Civil and Commercial Code.

除了缺乏透明度之外，這些合約還被發現包含濫用條款。這些條款包括允許公司暫停服務而不提供維修或退款、強迫用戶放棄集體賠償索賠、並使其遵守外國法律，特別是開曼群島的法律，並通過在加利福尼亞州仲裁解決爭議，美國。這些規定違反了阿根廷民商法典。

Contradictions in Biometric Data Handling

生物辨識資料處理中的矛盾

Further contradictions were discovered regarding Worldcoin's reported use, protection, and storage of biometric data collected from the faces and eyes of Argentine users. Despite assurances that this sensitive information would be stored securely, it was discovered that the data was being stored in Brazil.

關於世界幣所報導的從阿根廷用戶的臉部和眼睛收集的生物辨識資料的使用、保護和存儲，也發現了更多的矛盾。儘管保證這些敏感資訊將被安全存儲，但人們發現這些資料儲存在巴西。

Potential Fines and Ongoing Operations

潛在的罰款和持續的運營

Worldcoin now faces potential fines of up to 1 billion pesos (approximately $1.2 million) as a result of these alleged violations and discrepancies. The company had been operating in various cities in Buenos Aires, collecting biometric data using its Orb technology device in exchange for providing users with the World App financial application and cryptocurrency rewards in the form of Worldcoin's native token, WLD.

由於這些涉嫌違規和差異，Worldcoin 目前可能面臨高達 10 億比索（約 120 萬美元）的罰款。該公司一直在布宜諾斯艾利斯的各個城市開展業務，使用其 Orb 技術設備收集生物識別數據，以換取為用戶提供 World App 金融應用程式和以 Worldcoin 原生代幣 WLD 形式的加密貨幣獎勵。

Unexpected Token Surge Amidst Legal Scrutiny

法律審查中代幣意外激增

Despite the increasing legal scrutiny, WLD has experienced a surge of 2.6% in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $4.80. However, this surge should be viewed with caution, as it has not significantly altered the token's overall performance. Over the past day, WLD's trading volume has declined by 7.10%, and since its all-time high of $11.74 on March 10, it has witnessed a significant drop of over 58%.

儘管法律審查日益嚴格，WLD 在過去 24 小時內仍飆升 2.6%，目前交易價格為 4.80 美元。然而，這種激增應該謹慎看待，因為它並沒有顯著改變代幣的整體表現。過去一天，WLD成交量下跌7.10%，自3月10日創下歷史新高11.74美元以來，已大幅下跌超過58%。

The market correction has also impacted WLD's market capitalization, which has fallen below the billion-dollar level and currently stands at approximately $920 million.

市場調整也影響了WLD的市值，其市值已跌破十億美元水平，目前約為9.2億美元。

Conclusion

結論

The legal challenges and concerns over data handling practices facing Worldcoin serve as a reminder of the importance of transparency, adherence to consumer protection laws, and ethical considerations in the collection and use of biometric data. As technology advances and data becomes increasingly valuable, it is imperative for companies to prioritize privacy, transparency, and compliance to gain the trust of users and ensure the responsible development of innovative technologies.

世界幣面臨的數據處理實踐的法律挑戰和擔憂提醒人們，在收集和使用生物識別數據時，透明度、遵守消費者保護法以及道德考慮的重要性。隨著技術進步和數據變得越來越有價值，公司必須優先考慮隱私、透明度和合規性，以贏得用戶的信任並確保創新技術的負責任開發。
