Kenya suspends eyeball-scanning crypto worldcoin
Kenya has suspended a controversial cryptocurrency launched by the creator of ChatGPT over concerns for public safety. Worldcoin, founded by OpenAI boss Sam Altman, requires users to scan their eyeballs in order to receive a free share of the crypto token WLD More than 350,000 people have already signed up in Kenya, according to local reports, representing a significant portion of the roughly 2 million users worldwide. Interior minister Kithure Kindiki said investigations were underway into how Worldcoin intends to use people’s data. “Relevant security, financial services and data protection agencies have commenced inquiries and investigations to establish the authenticity and legality of the aforesaid activities,” Mr Kindiki said. Worldcoin claims that biometric data obtained during the signup process is only used to verify a person’s “unique personhood” and is not linked to any individual’s identity. “Worldcoin remains committed to providing an inclusive, privacy-preserving, decentralised on-ramp to the global digital economy and looks forward to resuming its services in Kenya while working closely with local regulators and other stakeholders,” the company said in a statement. Iris-scanning orbs are currently operating in 35 cities across 20 countries, according to Worldcoin, including in London, Paris and New York. Before Kenya announced the suspension, large crowds that formed in Nairobi at Worldcoin signup stations had been termed a “security risk”. Those who signed up received a share worth roughly $50 (£40), with Worldcoin claiming the project could eventually lead to a universal basic income. The WLD crypto token saw its price surge more than 50 per cent shortly after its launch last week, bucking broader market trends that have seen bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies dip in price during the same period. Cryptocurrency experts have described the project as both “outlandish” and “revolutionary” for its unique way to differentiate humans from AI bots, however digital rights lawyers warn that it poses a major challenge for regulators. “The launch of Worldcoin is a serious concern for data-protection and crypto regulatory bodies, and demonstrates the urgent need for cross sector and cross border regulation,”Richard Cannon, Partner at Stokoe Partnership Solicitors, told The Independent. “Worldcoin claims that once its systems are optimised it will anonymise and destroy users’ biometric data, but are yet to provide clarity regarding when this will happen, and have given no indication as to how the data is safely and securely stored.” Read More ChatGPT creator launches bitcoin rival that scans people’s eyeballs

Iconic Jack Grealish photo has officially been hung in the Louvre
Jack Grealish recently made headlines with his wild celebrations after winning the treble with Manchester City and now an iconic photo from this time has been hung up in the Louvre... well, kind of. The footballer shared a photo of himself celebrating with players as they toured Manchester in an open-top bus parade. In the photo, Grealish can be seen topless with his eyes closed and arms stretched out, taking in the euphoric atmosphere. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Clearly, the 27-year-old is a fan of the snap as he shared it on Twitter and declared: "Hang it in the Loooouvre," with a blue heart and laughing emoji. Grealish's spelling of the famous museum in Paris is in reference to team-mate Erling Haaland's entertaining (and uncanny) impression of John Stones who has got a Yorkshire accent. Now, it looks like Grealish's wish has come true thanks to Paddy Power as they went to the French capital to put the photo up in the Louvre, where the famous Mona Lisa is also on display. However, they were ultimately told by confused staff members that their unusual request was not possible. So it was time to decide to think outside the box, and Grealish didn't technically say exactly where in the Louvre the photo should be hung, right? Instead, the bookmakers were able to put the photo up somewhere else inside the Louvre - or Loo-vre as they put it on display inside the museum toilets. The stunt clearly amused City fans who praised Paddy Power's commitment to the bit. Elsewhere, Ruben Dias threw up in Jack Grealish's mum's handbag during Man City's boozy celebrations and Troy Hawke reconciles with a very drunk Jack Grealish at Man City's open-top bus parade.
