Kenyan police raided a warehouse operated by Worldcoin in the country’s capital on Aug. 5, according to local media.
Nairobi-based media outlet, Kahawu Tunu, said officials representing multiple Kenyan law enforcement agencies armed with search warrants broke into the building over the weekend. They left in possession of “machines” believed to store Kenyans’ sensitive information, before turning the devices in to the country’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations for analysis.
The raid follows Kenya’s interior cabinet suspending Worldcoin’s local registration on Aug. 2, pending an investigation into its operations, with regulators fearing that the project is not abiding by local privacy laws.
"We must protect Kenyans from unregulated mining of their data while their use remains mysterious or unknown"
