Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) — Worldcoin / WorldID
May 4, 2025 · Indonesia
Komdigi suspended the electronic-system-operator registration of the Worldcoin and WorldID iris-biometric digital-identity services as a preventive measure after finding the operator unregistered as a PSE and operating under another entity's registration.
Key takeaway — how to prevent this
Biometric data (faces, iris, fingerprints) needs an explicit lawful basis or consent. Scraping or capturing it without one is unlawful across the EU/UK and many US states (e.g. Illinois BIPA) — and draws the largest fines.
Inclusion does not imply wrongdoing or liability. Status reflects the latest information we have — always check the official source for current status.
