Paul,

Please elaborate , the ODPC existed before Worldcoin, what exactly did they do wrong beyond registering them as a Data Controller, in my humble opinion  the Jury did not seem to be well informed on the subject they were adjudicating, its imperative we call out such issues. Policy should not be driven by emotions, it requires logic and long term thinking.

Regards

Hi @David Indeje ,

I don't know, the rationale is not clear to me. The current office has barely settled for us to create a structure above it.

My thoughts

Dear Listers,

The parliamentary committee that investigated the recent Worldcoin saga made several recommendations that, among others, are stated on page 115, Section 6(d), as follows:

Amend the Data Protection Act, 2019 to provide for a Board where the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) reports to or accounts to on its daily operations.
