Kuwait to freeze bank accounts of residents who do not register biometric fingerprints. Kuwait is mandating a biometric registration process for citizens and expatriates. Those who fail to register their fingerprints by the set deadlines will face consequences such as suspended government services and frozen bank accounts. It is claimed that the reasons for enforcing the registration of digital biometrics are to enhance security and address dual nationality issues. However, this initiative aligns with global trends in biometrics and the sharing of our data with selected agencies. It’s no coincidence that at the same time, the United Nations is pushing for a Global Digital Compact to be adopted by 193 countries so it can play a significant role in the global governance of artificial intelligence, the Internet, digital public goods and digital infrastructure.
