WorldCoin必須刪除所有用戶數據並停止從肯尼亞人收集生物識別數據

WorldCoin必須刪除所有用戶數據並停止從肯尼亞人那裡收集生物識別數據，該國高等法院對Sam Altman有爭議的項目的最新打擊裁定。

The High Court in Kenya has ordered Worldcoin to delete all user data and cease collecting biometric data from Kenyans.

肯尼亞的高等法院已下令WorldCoin刪除所有用戶數據，並停止從肯尼亞人那裡收集生物識別數據。

Lady Justice Aburili Roselyne also ruled that the Worldcoin Foundation and its agents must cease “from further processing, collecting or dealing in biometric data.” They must also not obtain consent from their users through inducement or luring them with digital tokens.

法官阿布里利·羅斯利恩（Aburili Roselyne）夫人還裁定，世界幣基金會及其代理人必須“無法進一步處理，收集或處理生物識別數據”。他們還必須通過誘導或吸引數字代幣從用戶獲得同意。

The ruling, which was reported by local news outlet The Star, follows a two-year legal battle that pitted Worldcoin—now known as World—against two local advocacy groups: Katiba Institute and ICJ Kenya. The latter is the Kenyan chapter of the International Commission of Jurists.

這項裁決由當地新聞媒體《星報》報導，這是一場為期兩年的法律鬥爭，使世界幣（現在被稱為世界）成為了兩個當地倡導團體：卡蒂巴研究所和ICJ肯尼亞。後者是國際法學家委員會的肯尼亞分會。

The court further quashed Worldcoin’s decision to collect user data without undertaking a Data Protection Impact Assessment, which violates the country’s Data Protection Act. Worldcoin paid users who offered their biometric data with the WLD token, which also violates the Act.

法院進一步取消了WorldCoin收集用戶數據的決定，而無需進行數據保護影響評估，這違反了該國的數據保護法。 WorldCoin向用WLD代幣提供生物識別數據的用戶付費，這也違反了該法案。

The project must permanently delete all user data within seven days, under the supervision of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC). The judge also revoked its data processing certificate.

在數據保護專員（ODPC）辦公室的監督下，該項目必須在7天內永久刪除所有用戶數據。法官還撤銷了其數據處理證書。

ICJ Kenya said it welcomed the ruling, describing it as a “powerful precedent, not just for Kenya, but globally affirming that rights must remain paramount in technological innovation.”

肯尼亞國際法院表示，它歡迎這項裁決，將其描述為“不僅是肯尼亞的強大先例，而且在全球範圍內確認權利必須在技術創新中仍然至關重要”。

“The court’s directive to delete all unlawfully obtained biometric data is not just a legal necessity but a critical act of restoring data subject rights and reaffirming human dignity in the digital age,” it added.

它補充說：“法院刪除所有非法獲得生物特徵數據的指令不僅是法律上的必要性，而且是恢復數據主題權利並重申數字時代人類尊嚴的關鍵行為。”

The ruling is the latest blow to Worldcoin in what was one of its largest markets. At launch, the project lured hundreds of thousands of Kenyans with the reward of 25 WLD tokens, which were valued at $55 at the time.

該裁決是其最大市場之一對世界幣的最新打擊。在發佈時，該項目以25個WLD代幣的獎勵吸引了數十万肯尼亞人，當時價值為55美元。

However, shortly after, the Kenyan government turned against the project. In August 2023, it ordered Worldcoin to shut down and just weeks later, legislators were grilling company executives, including CEO Alex Blania, over how it was utilizing Kenyans’ data. The lawmakers recommended that the government fully shut down the project for ‘espionage.’

但是，不久之後，肯尼亞政府反對該項目。 2023年8月，它命令WorldCoin關閉，僅僅幾週後，立法者就燒烤了包括首席執行官Alex Blania在內的公司高管，以了解其如何利用肯尼亞人的數據。立法者建議政府完全關閉該項目的“間諜”。

While it claimed it would resume operations in 2024 after authorities dropped some of the charges against it, Worldcoin has never recovered the Kenyan market.

儘管當局撤銷了一些針對的指控後，它將在2024年恢復運營，但世界幣從未收回肯尼亞市場。

The development comes after Indonesia’s Ministry of Communications and Digital Affairs suspended the project over “suspicious activity.”

在印度尼西亞的通信和數字事務部以“可疑活動”暫停了該項目之後，這一發展發生了。
