The High Court has barred cryptocurrency firm Worldcoin from collecting data from Kenyans, pending the determination of a petition filed by the office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
Justice Prof Nixon Sifuna further directed Worldcoin to preserve the data it collected from Kenyans between April 19 and August 8, pending the conclusion of an investigation by the State agency.
