Puglelli's initiative proposes establishing a regulatory framework that regulates the relationships between the services offered by these companies and the users of the province of Buenos Aires. The idea is to guarantee fair treatment of biometric data collected by companies like Worldcoin and sanction any abuse by the company. “It is essential to adapt our legislation to the challenges posed by the digital era,” commented the Provincial Deputy for the Frente de Todos. He added that the Law seeks to protect the rights of consumers and users in an increasingly digitalized environment, ensuring the privacy and security of their data.

Adding to the concerns of the deputies was the accusation carried out by the Ministry of Production, Science and Technological Innovation of the province of Buenos Aires, an organization that claimed to have «discovered the inclusion of abusive clauses in the Worldcoin adhesion contracts.» According to the Buenos Aires authorities, contradictions were detected between what was reported by the company and the data collected from the audits carried out in different locations in the Province. They revolve around the use, safeguard and storage of biometric data collected from Argentine users. Is about an accusation that was rejected by the company. In that sense, the team behind the controversial project assures that the accusations from the province of Buenos Aires have not been determined or confirmed.
