PANews reported on October 24th that, according to Cointelegraph, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's digital identity project, World (formerly Worldcoin), is facing new challenges in Thailand, where local authorities raided an iris scanning station allegedly operated by the project. The operation, conducted jointly by the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), targeted scanning stations associated with "WLD exchange services." World has 102 such scanning stations in Thailand. The SEC and CCIB stated that the WLD exchange service provider is suspected of operating without a license, violating local digital asset laws. World stated that WLD tokens will only be distributed in legally permitted areas through identity verification, and that eligibility is restricted by factors such as region and age. World also clarified that it is not responsible for the circulation of WLD tokens on third-party platforms, including centralized or decentralized exchanges.PANews reported on October 24th that, according to Cointelegraph, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's digital identity project, World (formerly Worldcoin), is facing new challenges in Thailand, where local authorities raided an iris scanning station allegedly operated by the project.
