Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Committee has ordered TIDC Worldverse to suspend its iris-scanning services and delete biometric data collected from 1.2 million users, citing non-compliance with Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act.
TIDC Worldverse is part of Sam Altman’s World ID project, which has faced scrutiny over potential links to cryptocurrency scams and unauthorised data use, including cases where people were allegedly hired to scan irises for others.

The National Health Security Office in Thailand has ordered the suspension of iris biometric data collection by TIDC Worldverse and has demanded the deletion of biometric data already collected from approximately 1.2 million Thai citizens.
TIDC Worldverse is the Thai representative of Sam Altman’s Tools for Humanity, which operates the World ID project (formerly Worldcoin) in Thailand. The initiative uses iris-scanning “Orb” devices to provide a digital “proof-of-human” credential. Participants receive Worldcoin (“WLD”) tokens as an incentive for biometric verification.
Explaining in simple terms what the “Orb” is, Business Insider said, “The Orb is a polished, volleyball-sized metal sphere that scans irises to generate a ‘World ID’ – a kind of digital passport meant to distinguish humans from machines online.”
The decision to suspend the collection of biometric data in Thailand was made after the Personal Data Protection Committee determined that TIDC Worldverse did not obtain sufficient consent from people to collect their biometric data. This consent is a requirement under Thailand’s laws.
Tools for Humanity Thailand has announced that it has paused its iris biometric verification services in compliance with the order but the company plans to challenge the decision in court.
The investigation into TIDC Worldverse also revealed other suspicious activity, including a scheme to hire people to scan their irises in exchange for coins that could be used by other people, as stated by Pol Col Surapong Plengkham, the secretary-general of the Personal Data Protection Committee.
The suspension and deletion order is a significant setback for World ID’s global ambitions, which have primarily targeted poorer economies in the global south, where people are offered a “drop” of WLD in exchange for biometric enrolment. The company has only managed to register 17.5 million people so far, falling short of its target of verifying 1 billion users.
World ID has faced regulatory challenges in several countries, including Germany, where it was accused of violating the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). World ID “has seen more or less regulatory pushback wherever it has set up operations. (Except maybe Malaysia),” Biometric Update said.
It has also been met with scepticism by experts, such as Nikhil Bhatia, a finance professor at the University of Southern California, who views World ID as “experimental or a fad” due to its relatively small market capitalisation (“cap”) compared to other cryptocurrencies.
“It’s really just hard to judge something that’s a crypto with a 2-billion-dollar market cap as anything other than experimental or a fad. World [ID] is not a contender in any way for currency or an asset relative to the dollar or Bitcoin,” he said.
If you needed any proof that the collection of biometrics is about money, this is it.
The above is paraphrased from Biometric Update’s article ‘Thailand shuts down World iris scanning operation, orders deletion of biometrics’. You can read the full article HERE.

Hi History,
I have noticed the birds in Yorkshire UK have been cut down.
Never even seen 1 thrush this year, saw 2 the year before.
Massive Chemtrailing today, causing flooding all over.
No such thing as chemtrails. Water vapour. The chemistry bears me out. You have no empirical proof other than bloke said. If more houses have been built around you then you will see less birds. Probably flood plain building. Go on YouTube and look for the WW2 USAAF study on CONTRAILS.
Sorry, Reverend, but here are the proofs you want.
I’m a photographer. Over the past 40 years I took tens of thousands cloud pictures but, these past 10 years, persistent plane trails (contrails dissipate within minutes) and obvious repetitive diffusion and timing patterns have emerged.
All my pictures are date/time referenced and I can prove there is a correlation between the chemical sprayings and the official weather forecasts.
Moreover, people all over the world too are observing the same patterns, as shown by their similar pictures. This is not normal and neither is it a coincidence that bad weather follows inevitably the heavy sprayings (usually within two day, and here inevitably on Holidays). They even spray at night!
Do you really think that your (or any) government would easily confess they’ve been poisoning their citizens like insects and manipulating the weather for decades without their consent?
Nonetheless, that’s what has been done in the USA. Last year, 17 States have forbidden chemtrails spraying over their territory, admitting this was actually done. Two months ago, President Trump announced that he had heard Americans’ concerns and ordered the Department of Defense (now the Department of War) and its private partners to stop chemtrails sprayings all at once. According to many witnesses, private airlines would still be spraying.
in 2024, live chemtrails from a flying commercial plane were sampled. Appropriate lab analysis of the soils, plants and waters before and after the spraying were analyzed with a spectrometer for their content. The results were astonishing and the highly toxic aluminium percentage (1,500 times above the limit, which is ZERO), besides barium, nickel and even radioactive waste was revolting, considering the link of these metals to Alzheimer, Parkinson and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Let’s not forget that planes outside air intakes also diffuse this chemical soup in the cabins for their travellers and crews to breathe…
Unfortunately, wind currents are trespassing the borders and only a simultaneous international effort against these criminal activities can stop the poisoning of our planet and its living beings.
So, if I may suggest, no offence intended, you do your own research on the experiments done by scientists, watch the eye opening documentary “The Dimming”, and read their articles on weather modifications explained to children and teenagers on https://Geoengineeringwatch.org 😎
Regards.
The word contrails is a contraction of condensation and trail(s).
Ergo, what one sees hanging around the sky after a plane has passed is undoubtedly not water vapour. Good luck trying to convince any ignoramus.

I first noticed the chemical deliberate poisoning in 2020. My sister and I in different parts of the country have been upset about the bird population decline for years. I live very rural i put out bird food on my table and it was still there days later.
Apart from the odd Robin there is nothing. Oh some Gulls and Crows the other day. Anyone that doesnt understand this find Dane Wigginton. It was he and Mike Adams(Health Ranger) that awoke me to this in 2021.
I live about 400 yards from the coast (200′ above sea-mercifully!) and I can’t remember the last time I saw a seagull.
I keep a large flock of free range chickens, and there was a time I’d have to shake a stick at them (there were that many) to keep them at bay, not anymore.
Its not just the gulls, but they are the most noticeable.
As for the chemtrails-those straight line clouds look anything but natural…
I feed 80 lbs black oil a month and some species are missing . I’m in the boreal region and it’s just the larger species coming for feed . We’re solid trails here with little sun , trump did nothing but exercise his jaw muscles.
Good news. Thanks a lot for this news, Expose News.
Hi Shoshi, it is good news. And I hope the rest of the world follows Thailand’s lead. Although before claiming a victory for the people, I suppose we should wait see if it is indeed the end of iris scans in Thailand or simply a move to make way for a state approved (or more likely, UN approved) supplier.
Hey Expose,
I used to post here. Don’t have anything political today, used to post as Paul.
I found a pattern in the primes and wanted to share it with those who allowed me to speak:
https://open.substack.com/pub/perelax/p/the-pattern-in-the-primes?r=59d9he&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
I hope you find it interesting. I included a Python script to generate primes. There are timestamps as well. If the pattern holds, then I am able to generate 10,000 primes from scratch in 0.0289 milliseconds. The post above is very short and to the point, maybe a 1-2 min read.
Thanks, for letting me speak when I was posting here.
