Following Esteban Bullrich's complaint, the Undersecretariat for Consumer Defense gives Binance 72 hours to respond

Binance, the global cryptocurrency exchange, faces scrutiny in Argentina following a complaint lodged by former Minister of Education Esteban Bullrich. The Subsecretaría de Defensa del Consumidor has issued a 72-hour ultimatum for the digital finance platform to address Bullrich's concerns. The crux of the issue lies in Binance's facial recognition system, which reportedly blocked Bullrich's account access due to physical changes caused by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Bullrich has publicly criticized the platform's lack of alternatives for users with disabilities, framing inclusion as an 'optional' aspect of their services. He emphasized that his condition is progressively affecting his body, and it should not extend to his financial assets. Binance has since responded, acknowledging the situation and stating that their technical team is working to resolve the account blockage. The company also admitted that the case highlighted an 'accessibility flaw' and thanked Bullrich for bringing the issue to light, signaling a potential shift in their approach to user accessibility.
