MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's High Court on Monday upheld a temporary ban on Worldcoin's iris-scanning venture, the latest blow to a project that has sparked privacy concerns in several countries.
The court said the "safeguarding of the public interest" must prevail, dismissing an appeal by Worldcoin's owners who asked for the ban to be lifted while it deliberates.
