Climate change - Cristiano Ronaldo - Data protection - OECD - Portugal national football team - Privacy concerns - Sam Altman - Worldcoin

From Ronaldo's lackluster game to Portugal's data regulator halting biometric data collection, the drama unfolds in Portugal!

In a surprising turn of events, Portugal faced both on-field disappointment and off-field controversies. Cristiano Ronaldo's lackluster performance against Slovenia left fans disheartened as Portugal struggled to score in a friendly match. Moreover, Portugal's data regulator ordered a halt to Sam Altman's Worldcoin biometric data collection project, citing privacy concerns.

The woes continued for Portugal as they suffered a shocking 2-0 defeat at the hands of Slovenia, raising eyebrows in the football world. On the data front, Portugal's National Data Protection Commission imposed temporary restrictions on Worldcoin's biometric collection practices, reflecting growing scrutiny over data privacy.

Interestingly, Portugal has been highlighted for its struggles in monitoring the disclosures of high-ranking State officials, as noted in the latest OECD report on corruption. Additionally, the country experienced its hottest years on record in 2022 and 2023, with a notable increase in heatwaves, according to IPMA's climate bulletin.

As the saga unfolds, Cristiano Ronaldo's interactions on and off the field continue to make headlines, from reuniting with former teammates to connecting with fans even in defeat. Portugal's regulatory actions against data collection practices signal a shift towards stronger data protection measures in the country.
