Privacy International has engaged with crypto-adjacent issues through biometric data advocacy. It supported litigation against Worldcoin in Kenya, where a court ordered the cessation of biometric data collection and the destruction of unlawfully collected data. Privacy International also filed expert witness testimony in a Kenyan case challenging the Maisha Namba digital identity system. These cases illustrate how its broader surveillance-watchdog mandate intersects with emerging blockchain-based identity projects.
